Steelite Bead Rimmed Bowls 285mm Vitrified China (Pack of 6)

The Steelite Bead Rimmed Bowl is a 285mm vitrified china bowl from Steelite's long-established Bead range. The raised bead detail around the rim gives the piece a clean, classic profile that works across a wide range of dining styles, from traditional restaurant service to modern bistro and hotel environments. Sold in packs of six, it is a practical purchasing format for operators building or topping up their crockery stock.

Vitrified china is the standard material of choice in busy commercial kitchens for good reason. It is significantly harder and more chip-resistant than standard earthenware, withstands the thermal stresses of dishwasher cycling, and holds its finish well under repeated service. At just over a kilogram per bowl, the Bead 285mm sits in a practical weight range — substantial enough to feel quality on the table, without being awkward for front-of-house staff handling multiple covers.

From an operational standpoint, this bowl suits a range of service types:

• Generous bowl size suited to pasta, salad, and sharing dishes
• Classic bead rim detail presents well across formal and informal dining settings
• Vitrified china construction resists chipping through regular dishwasher cycling
• Consistent sizing simplifies stacking, storage, and table-laying
• Pack-of-six format suits both initial stock builds and ongoing replacement purchasing

There are no special installation or utility requirements to consider with tableware of this kind, though it is worth planning crockery volumes carefully against your covers and wash cycle frequency. Operators running high-turnover services should factor in buffer stock to account for breakages and items in the wash cycle at any given time.

This bowl is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, classically styled crockery that will perform consistently in daily service. For very high-volume operations or where a more extensive range of complementary pieces is needed, it is worth exploring the breadth of the Steelite Bead range to ensure a consistent look across your table setting.

If you are putting together a full crockery specification or need guidance on quantities for your covers, our team is happy to help you think it through.
