Product Description
The Steelite Koto bowl is a 112mm alumina vitrified ceramic bowl finished in a deep Iron Red glaze that draws on the aesthetic of traditional Japanese Tenmoku pottery. It is sold in packs of twelve, making it straightforward to stock in practical quantities for front-of-house use.
In a busy service environment the Koto bowl performs reliably. Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-regarded material for professional tableware — it is dense, chip-resistant under normal service conditions, and holds up consistently through the repeated handling that a busy cover count demands. The Iron Red glaze maintains its appearance over sustained use without fading or crazing in normal service conditions.
Practically, the bowl offers a useful combination of attributes for operators:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during service
- Oven and microwave compatible, giving flexibility in plating and finishing
- Lifetime edge chip warranty from Steelite, reducing replacement cost over time
- Consistent glaze finish supports clean, considered plate presentation
There are no special handling or storage requirements beyond standard crockery practice. The 112mm diameter positions this as a smaller bowl suited to side dishes, sharing portions, sauces, or starter-sized servings in an Eastern or Asian-influenced menu context. Operators running higher cover volumes should consider whether the pack size aligns with their breakage and replacement cycle.
This bowl is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and cafés where tableware presentation matters and durability under daily commercial use is a requirement. It sits within a broader Koto collection, so complementary pieces are available if a coordinated table setting is needed.
If you are unsure whether the 112mm size is the right fit for your menu or service style, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- At 112mm diameter, this bowl is best suited to smaller servings — side dishes, sauces, sharing portions, or starters in an Asian-influenced menu context. For main course portions you would typically want a larger bowl, and the Koto collection includes other sizes that may be a better fit depending on your portion sizes.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-established material for commercial tableware, valued for its density and resistance to chipping under normal service conditions. It handles the thermal cycling of dishwashers reliably and tends to maintain its glaze appearance over time better than lower-fired alternatives. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects confidence in the material's durability.
- The Koto bowl is rated as oven safe, which covers both conventional and combi oven environments under normal catering use. If you are planning to use them for high-temperature finishing or prolonged oven holding, it is worth confirming the temperature limits with us so you can be confident they are right for your specific workflow.
