Product Description
The Steelite Koto 102mm bowl is a small serving bowl finished in an Iron Red glaze that draws on the aesthetic of traditional Japanese Tenmoku pottery. The dark, textured appearance gives each piece a handcrafted quality, making it a considered choice for operators who want tableware that contributes to the overall presentation of a dish rather than simply holding it.
In day-to-day service, the bowl is well suited to small portions, side dishes, sauces, condiments, and tasting-course presentations. The 102mm diameter is a practical size for amuse-bouche, pre-starters, and small sharing components, and the format works particularly well alongside other pieces from the Koto range where a coordinated table aesthetic matters. Being alumina vitrified ceramic, the material is dense and hard-wearing, which translates to a bowl that holds up well to the handling, stacking, and washing cycles that come with busy covers.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction withstands heavy daily service use
- Iron Red glaze suits Asian, Japanese, and contemporary fine dining menus
- Dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe for flexible kitchen workflow
- Lifetime edge chip warranty supports long-term stock management
- Sold in packs of 12, practical for building consistent table covers
As with any specialist tableware, it is worth considering how the Koto range sits within your broader table setting before committing to quantities. The Iron Red glaze has a strong visual character that works well as a deliberate design choice but may not suit every cover style. For operators running higher volumes or more formal settings, the wider Koto collection includes complementary pieces that allow a consistent look across the table.
If you would like to talk through how the Koto range fits your menu format or service style, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Iron Red glaze and compact 102mm size make this bowl particularly well suited to Japanese, Asian fusion, and contemporary fine dining menus where presentation is a deliberate part of the guest experience. It works well for small sharing dishes, amuse-bouche, sauces, and tasting-course components, though operators using it outside an Asian context should consider whether the strong visual character of the glaze complements their broader table setting.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a denser, harder material than standard porcelain, which generally means better resistance to chipping and cracking under the stacking, handling, and repeated machine washing typical in a busy commercial kitchen. It is a common choice for operators who need tableware that holds its appearance over a long service life without frequent replacement.
- As a general guide, most operators aim to hold two to three times their cover count in any given piece to allow for breakages, items in the wash cycle, and service peaks. For a 40-cover restaurant using this bowl as a side dish or starter component, two or three packs of 12 would typically form a workable opening stock, though the right quantity depends on your service style and how central the piece is to your menu.
