Steelite Pompeii Slate Large Round Bowl 413mm (Pack of 6)

The Steelite Pompeii Slate Large Round Bowl is part of the Pompeii Creations collection — a melamine dinnerware range designed to bring a distinctive, textured aesthetic to casual dining environments. At 413mm across, these are generously sized bowls well suited to sharing plates, pasta dishes, salads, and similar service styles where presentation is part of the experience.

Melamine construction gives these bowls a practical durability advantage over traditional ceramic or stoneware. They are considerably lighter than fired clay equivalents of a similar size, which matters when front-of-house staff are handling large format tableware through a busy service. The slate-effect finish is consistent across the collection, giving tables a coherent look without relying on fragile glazed surfaces that chip and mark over time.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages of this range include:

• Lighter than ceramic equivalents, reducing handling strain during service
• Melamine construction resists chipping under normal front-of-house use
• Consistent slate-effect finish across pieces supports a uniform table presentation
• Large format suits sharing portions and informal dining formats
• Sold in packs of six, keeping stock rotation practical for smaller operations

It is worth noting that melamine is not suitable for microwave or oven use, and is not dishwasher-safe at high temperatures. Operators should confirm compatibility with their warewashing equipment before committing to large quantities, particularly where high-temperature sanitising cycles are used routinely.

This range is well suited to fast casual restaurants, bistros, and dining concepts with a rustic or natural aesthetic. It works particularly well where operators want the visual warmth of slate or stone without the weight and fragility of the real thing. For high-volume operations where warewasher compatibility or microwave reheating is a requirement, an alternative material may be more appropriate.

If you are building out a collection or unsure whether this range fits your service style, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.
