Steelite Craft White Low Cup 85ml (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Craft White Low Cup is an 85ml espresso cup produced in alumina vitrified ceramic — a dense, high-fired material commonly used in professional tableware for its resistance to chipping and thermal shock. The low, wide profile is characteristic of the Craft range, which draws on informal country pottery forms to give a tactile, slightly irregular feel that contrasts with the clean-lined look of standard catering crockery.

In service, the key requirement for an espresso cup is consistency and durability rather than complexity. These hold up well to the repeated mechanical handling, stacking, and high-temperature dishwasher cycles that come with busy café, restaurant, or hotel breakfast service. The alumina vitrified construction is substantially harder-wearing than standard earthenware or stoneware, which matters when cups are moving through a commercial glass or rack washer several times a day.

Practical points worth noting for operators:

• Suitable for oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher use
• Hand-applied glaze gives each piece a subtly individual character
• Low form stacks efficiently, helping to keep counter space manageable
• Pack of 36 suits initial cover setups or topping up existing stock
• White glaze works with most existing crockery ranges

As with all tableware in this style, the hand-glazed finish means minor variation between pieces is expected and intentional — this is not a defect but a characteristic of the range. Operators looking for a perfectly uniform, high-gloss finish may prefer a different collection.

The Craft range suits cafés, bistros, and casual dining operations where a relaxed, artisan aesthetic is part of the overall guest experience. If you are equipping a larger operation or building out a full tableware specification, it is worth speaking with us to confirm quantities and check current lead times before ordering.
