Product Description
The Steelite Craft Liquorice large double-well saucer is a 145mm ceramic saucer finished in a deep black liquorice colourway with a hand-decorated reactive glaze. Because the glaze reacts individually during firing, each piece carries its own subtle variation in surface character — no two saucers are identical. The double-well design provides a defined resting position for the cup alongside space for a biscuit or stirrer, which suits café and coffee shop service well.
In a busy front-of-house environment, consistency of presentation matters as much as the drink itself. These saucers are made from alumina vitrified ceramic, which is a robust, dense material commonly used in commercial tableware for its resistance to chipping and its ability to withstand repeated dishwasher cycles without significant glaze degradation. For sites turning covers quickly, that durability reduces the rate at which pieces need replacing.
- Reactive glaze finish gives each piece a distinct, handcrafted appearance
- Double-well design accommodates a cup and a small accompaniment cleanly
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction handles heavy daily use and machine washing reliably
- Deep liquorice colourway suits contemporary café, restaurant, and hotel coffee service
- Supplied in a pack of 36, suited to stocking a full service station
A pack of 36 is a practical quantity for most coffee-focused operations, though higher-volume sites or those running multiple stations may want to consider holding additional stock. The saucers are designed to pair with the matching Steelite Craft Liquorice cup range to maintain a consistent look across the table.
If you are building out a full hot drinks service and want to discuss quantities, mix of pieces, or how this range fits alongside your existing tableware, our team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a dense, vitrified material chosen specifically for commercial tableware because it tolerates frequent machine washing better than standard earthenware or stoneware. Over time, as with all reactive-glaze pieces, some surface variation may develop, but the structural integrity and basic finish hold up well under typical café or restaurant dishwasher cycles.
- A single pack of 36 covers a reasonable service station setup, but the right quantity depends on your cover count, table-turn speed, and dishwasher cycle time. A site running 60 or more covers continuously through the day would commonly hold two to three packs to maintain availability throughout service without waiting on wash cycles.
- Yes, and that is intentional to the range. The reactive glaze process means each piece develops its own surface character during firing, so saucers within the same pack will show subtle variation in tone and texture. The base colourway remains consistently dark liquorice across the batch, but operators should expect individual pieces to look slightly different from one another rather than uniform.
