Steelite Koto Iron Red Glaze Bowls 158mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Koto bowl is a 158mm round bowl finished in a deep Iron Red glaze, drawing its aesthetic from traditional Japanese Tenmoku pottery techniques. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is part of Steelite's Koto collection — a range designed specifically for operators who want tableware that contributes to the dish presentation rather than simply supporting it. The dark, textured glaze gives each piece a handcrafted quality that works particularly well with Eastern and Asian menus, though it sits comfortably in any contemporary fine dining or casual dining context where strong visual identity on the table matters.

In practical kitchen terms, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction means these bowls are built to handle the demands of daily professional service. Steelite's manufacturing processes are known within the industry for producing robust vitrified ware, and the lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the confidence placed in the durability of the body. The bowls are suitable for dishwasher, oven, and microwave use, which allows for flexible service workflows without the need to handle them differently from standard crockery.

• Dark Iron Red glaze adds visual impact to plated dishes
• Alumina vitrified ceramic body suitable for heavy daily use
• Dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe for flexible kitchen workflow
• Consistent glaze finish supports cohesive table presentation
• Lifetime edge chip warranty for professional catering environments

These bowls are well suited to restaurants, hotels, and cafés serving Eastern or Asian-inspired menus, as well as any operation looking for a bold, tactile bowl that photographs well and holds up under volume service. For high-turnover operations with very large covers, it is worth considering whether a larger pack format or complementary pieces from the Koto range would better meet your crockery rotation needs.
