Steelite Brown Dapple Essence Bowl 165mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Brown Dapple Essence Bowl is a straight-sided ceramic bowl from Steelite's Brown Dapple range, distinguished by its characteristic flecked brown rim detail. At 165mm in diameter, it sits comfortably as a mid-sized bowl suitable for a range of covers — cereals, soups, side salads, desserts, and small sharing portions all work well in this format. The rustic, informal aesthetic makes it a natural fit for casual dining environments where operators want to move away from plain white without committing to heavily patterned tableware.

Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these bowls are built to withstand the daily rigours of commercial service. Alumina vitrification produces a denser, harder body than standard ceramic, which translates directly to better chip resistance at the rim and base — the areas that take the most punishment in a busy wash cycle or during stacking. For front-of-house teams handling high cover volumes, that durability matters over the course of months and years of use.

• Dishwasher safe and suitable for commercial glasswashers and rack conveyor machines
• Microwave safe, supporting reheating workflows where required
• Coordinates with the wider Brown Dapple range, including plates and side plates
• Sold in a pack of 24, suited to batch purchasing for new openings or restocking
• Consistent glaze finish supports a uniform table presentation across covers

The 165mm size works well as a mid-range option within the Essence bowl format. Operators needing a smaller portion bowl or a larger serving bowl will find other sizes available within the same range, allowing a coordinated table set across different courses or portion sizes.
