Steelite Charcoal Dapple Essence Bowls 140mm (Pack of 24)

The Steelite Essence bowl in Charcoal Dapple is a 140mm porcelain bowl finished with a reactive glaze that produces subtle variation in tone and texture across each piece. Because the glaze responds differently during firing, no two bowls are identical — the effect is intentional and consistent with the range's character, rather than a quality inconsistency. The porcelain body is alumina-enriched, which improves chip resistance compared with standard earthenware, making it a practical choice for front-of-house use rather than purely decorative.

In a busy service environment, tableware takes a great deal of handling, stacking, and machine washing. The Essence bowl is designed with that in mind — it is microwave safe, freezer safe, and dishwasher safe, which keeps it compatible with common kitchen workflows without requiring special handling instructions for floor staff.

• Reactive glaze creates natural variation — no two pieces are identical
• Alumina-enriched porcelain improves durability in daily service
• Compatible with microwave, freezer, and commercial dishwasher
• Suits both plated starters and sharing-style service formats
• Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for opening or supplementing an existing cover count

The Charcoal Dapple finish sits well alongside both white and dark tableware, and works particularly well in casual dining, bistro, or contemporary restaurant settings where operators want texture and character on the table without moving away from a refined aesthetic. The 140mm diameter makes it suitable for small portions, amuse-bouche, sides, or desserts.

This bowl is well suited to restaurants, gastro pubs, and café-dining operations running mid-to-high covers where tableware durability matters as much as presentation. If you are building a full cover set or need guidance on matching pieces within the Essence range, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
