Steelite Pompeii Slate Large Shallow Round Bowl 359mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Pompeii Slate large shallow round bowl is part of the Pompeii Creations range — a melamine dinnerware collection designed to bring a tactile, stone-effect aesthetic to casual and informal dining environments. At 359mm across, this is a generous shallow bowl format, well suited to sharing plates, salads, antipasti, or as a serving vessel at the centre of the table.

Melamine construction gives these bowls a practical advantage over ceramic in high-turnover settings. They handle the rigours of a busy pass and front-of-house service more forgivingly than traditional tableware, and the slate finish holds its appearance through repeated use and handling. The lighter weight compared to stoneware or porcelain is a meaningful benefit when staff are clearing and resetting covers at pace.

• Slate-effect finish suits a range of dining concepts from rustic to contemporary
• Melamine body withstands knocks and drops better than ceramic equivalents
• Lighter than stoneware, reducing fatigue during high-cover service
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for stocking a full section or replacing attrition losses
• Consistent finish across the pack supports a uniform table presentation

These bowls are best suited to casual dining restaurants, fast casual concepts, street food-style venues, and operators looking for a distinctive table presence without the fragility or cost of artisan ceramic. They work particularly well where sharing-style service is central to the concept. For more formal dining environments or kitchens requiring full dishwasher-safe certification for their specific machine type, it is worth confirming melamine suitability before committing to the range.
