Steelite Charcoal Dapple Cups (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Charcoal Dapple cup is a porcelain cup finished with a reactive glaze that produces a natural, uneven colouration across the rim. Because the glaze reacts individually during firing, no two pieces are identical, which gives the range an inherently handcrafted quality. The body retains the clean white of traditional whiteware, while the dappled rim adds visual character without any change to how the cup is handled or stored. Three sizes are available: 170ml (6oz), 227ml (8oz) and 285ml (10oz).

The alumina-enriched porcelain improves chip resistance compared with standard earthenware, which matters where cups are handled quickly, stacked frequently and turned around through a commercial dishwasher many times a day. The range is also microwave and freezer safe.

The variation is built into the production process, so slight differences between pieces read as intentional rather than inconsistent. That suits venues that want to move away from plain white crockery without committing to a uniform coloured range.

• Three sizes: 170ml (6oz), 227ml (8oz) and 285ml (10oz), each supplied as a pack of 36
• Dishwasher safe and built for repeated high-temperature wash cycles
• Chip-resistant porcelain suitable for fast-paced front-of-house use
• Microwave and freezer safe for flexible service requirements
• Reactive glaze gives natural variation without compromising range cohesion

The 170ml cup suits espresso and short coffee serves, the 227ml cup suits flat whites, cortados, tea and short filter coffees, and the 285ml cup suits flat whites, americanos and similar drinks. These cups suit independent cafes, casual dining restaurants and hotel breakfast or lounge operations. The 36-piece pack quantity suits operators setting up a section or supplementing an existing Charcoal Dapple order.
