Product Description
The Steelite Craft Porcini low cup is a 228ml earthenware-style cup produced in alumina vitrified ceramic with a reactive glaze finish. Each cup has a hand-thrown appearance and is individually decorated, giving the range a naturally varied, artisan character that reads well on a café counter or restaurant table without looking mass-produced.
In a busy drinks service, consistency and durability matter as much as appearance. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial environments — it is denser and more chip-resistant than standard porcelain, and the cups are safe for commercial dishwashers, which is a straightforward requirement in any operation running multiple covers. The warm porcini colourway holds up well visually across repeated wash cycles, and the low cup format suits both espresso-based drinks served with depth and filter or tea service where a wider rim is preferred.
Practical points worth noting for operators:
- Commercially dishwasher safe, supporting high-turnover service
- Alumina vitrified ceramic offers reliable chip resistance in daily use
- Reactive glaze produces natural variation — each cup differs slightly
- Hand-decorated finish suits independently run cafés and casual dining
- Sold in a pack of 36, practical for stocking a section or full opening order
These cups are well suited to independent coffee shops, casual dining restaurants, and hotel breakfast or lounge service where an artisan aesthetic is part of the offer. They are less likely to fit a formal fine-dining environment where a more refined, uniform finish is expected.
If you are specifying crockery for an opening or a full refresh and want to talk through quantities or range coordination, our team is happy to help you work through it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. The alumina vitrified ceramic construction is rated for commercial dishwashing, making them practical for operations running continuous cover where crockery turns over quickly. The glaze and decoration are designed to withstand repeated high-temperature wash cycles.
- The low cup format is commonly used for espresso-based drinks such as flat whites, cortados, and cappuccinos, as well as tea service where a wider rim is preferred. At 228ml it sits at the larger end of the speciality coffee cup range, making it versatile across most café menus.
- Not exactly — and that is intentional. The reactive glaze process produces natural variation between individual cups, so no two pieces are identical. For most independent cafés and casual dining operations this is part of the appeal, but if you require a highly uniform finish across your tableware, it is worth discussing the range with us before ordering.
