Steelite Koto Iron Red Glaze Bowls 94mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Koto bowl is a small, deep-glazed ceramic bowl designed for presenting Eastern and Asian-inspired dishes in a professional dining setting. The Iron Red glaze takes its cues from traditional Japanese Tenmoku pottery, producing a dark, layered finish that gives each piece a handcrafted character without the inconsistency of truly handmade ware. At 94mm in diameter, these are compact bowls suited to side portions, amuse-bouches, condiments, small sharing dishes, and tasting-menu courses.

In day-to-day service, alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for busy kitchens. The material is denser and more resistant to chipping than standard porcelain, which matters when bowls are passing through a busy wash cycle multiple times a day. Steelite backs this with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects genuine confidence in the durability of the body rather than a marketing gesture. The bowls are dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe, so they fit into varied service workflows without restriction.

• Dark Iron Red glaze with a distinctive, tactile finish that reads well on the pass
• Compact 94mm format suitable for sharing dishes, sides, and tasting portions
• Alumina vitrified ceramic construction for resistance to daily commercial use
• Compatible with dishwasher, oven, and microwave — no workflow restrictions
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for building or topping up existing covers

There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard crockery practice, though the dark glaze will show limescale deposits more readily than lighter ware, so rinse-aid dosing in the dishwasher is worth keeping on top of. The Koto range is part of a broader Steelite collection, so matching pieces in other formats are available if you are building a consistent table setting across courses.

These bowls are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and casual dining operations with an Asian or contemporary menu focus, where presentation matters and crockery takes heavy daily use. If you are fitting out a larger number of covers or need guidance on quantities, the team is happy to help you work through what you need.
