Product Description
The Steelite Pompeii Slate Small Round Bowl is part of the Pompeii Creations collection — a range of melamine dinnerware finished with a textured slate-effect appearance. At 244mm across, this bowl sits in a versatile size bracket, suited to sharing portions, sides, salads, and informal plated starters. Each pack contains twelve bowls, making it straightforward to build or replenish a full cover set.
Melamine construction gives this bowl a practical advantage in high-turnover environments. It is noticeably lighter than ceramic equivalents, which eases the pace of service for front-of-house staff and reduces the physical load during clearing and transport between kitchen and floor. The material is also considerably more resistant to chipping and breakage than traditional stoneware or porcelain — a meaningful consideration in busy casual dining operations where the cost of broken covers accumulates quickly.
- Slate-effect finish suits relaxed, informal, and contemporary dining concepts
- Lighter weight than ceramic — supports faster service and reduces staff fatigue
- Resistant to chipping and breakage under everyday commercial use
- Pack of 12 provides a practical base quantity for building or topping up cover sets
- Suitable for a range of service styles including sharing, sides, and starters
Melamine is not suitable for use in conventional ovens or microwaves, and is not intended for direct contact with very high-temperature foods. It is dishwasher-safe under normal commercial conditions, though prolonged exposure to harsh detergents at high temperatures can dull the finish over time — worth bearing in mind when specifying cleaning protocols.
This bowl is well suited to fast-casual restaurants, café dining, and informal food-led venues where durability and visual appeal need to balance against operational practicality. It works equally well in fixed-menu environments and as part of a broader sharing-style table set. If you are building a full cover scheme or matching across multiple bowl sizes and serving pieces, it is worth speaking with us to ensure consistency across the range before placing a larger order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- No — melamine dinnerware is not suitable for microwave or conventional oven use. It is designed for ambient and cold food service, not for reheating. If your operation requires bowls that can go from chiller to microwave, a ceramic or porcelain option would be more appropriate.
- Melamine is dishwasher-safe and handles standard commercial warewashing well in normal conditions. That said, repeated exposure to very high-temperature wash cycles or aggressive alkaline detergents can gradually dull the surface finish over time. Following the manufacturer's recommended wash temperature helps preserve the appearance through extended service life.
- That depends on your cover count, table turn rate, and how the bowls are used within service. For a small venue using these as a side or sharing bowl, 12 may be sufficient to start. Larger operations or those with high table turns typically hold two to three times their peak cover count to allow for bowls in the wash cycle. If you are unsure what quantity suits your setup, we are happy to talk it through.
