Product Description
These 253mm coupe bowls are part of Steelite's Ink Crackle range — a collection built around a soft, textured grey glaze that gives each piece a subtle surface variation. The coupe profile is wide and shallow with a minimal rim, which suits contemporary plating styles where the food presentation is intended to sit front and centre. The grey crackle finish provides a neutral but visually interesting backdrop that works well against a wide range of food colours and textures.
Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, the bowls are produced to a standard commonly specified by commercial operators who need tableware to withstand the sustained demands of professional dishwashing and daily service. The material is well regarded in the trade for its chip resistance and durability under repeated thermal cycling — qualities that matter when bowls are cycling through a rack washer multiple times per day.
- Crackle glaze finish provides a distinctive backdrop without distracting from plated food
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction handles repeated commercial dishwashing reliably
- Coupe profile suits modern plating and portion presentation
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking a section or adding to an existing set
- Neutral grey colourway integrates with most existing tableware schemes
These bowls are a practical choice for restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms looking to introduce a consistent, considered aesthetic without committing to a highly decorative or coloured range. The pack-of-12 format suits operators who are building or refreshing a cover set incrementally. For higher-volume operations requiring larger opening quantities, the range is available in greater pack sizes through the wider catalogue.
If you're unsure how this range sits alongside your existing tableware or want guidance on quantities for your cover count, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is the material of choice for most commercial tableware precisely because it handles the high temperatures and repeated cycles of rack and glasswasher machines well. The crackle glaze is fired as part of the ceramic body rather than applied as a surface coat, so it behaves consistently under standard commercial washing conditions.
- The 253mm diameter is a versatile size — wide enough for pasta, risotto, sharing starters, or composed salads, while the shallow coupe profile keeps the focus on the food rather than the vessel. It's commonly used in mid to upper-casual dining where chefs want a clean, unobstructed surface to plate onto.
- The crackle effect is a characteristic of the glaze chemistry rather than a surface treatment, so it doesn't wear away with use. As with any ceramic tableware, edge chipping is the more likely concern in high-throughput environments — alumina vitrified ceramic offers good resistance to this, but operators running very high daily covers should factor in a realistic breakage allowance when calculating stock quantities.
