Product Description
The Steelite Rio Green low cup saucer is part of Steelite's Rio range, a collection of alumina vitrified ceramic tableware distinguished by its hand-applied colour wash finish. The result is a relaxed, informal aesthetic that works well in bistro and café settings, or anywhere an operator wants to introduce a consistent splash of colour to their table setting. The 145mm saucer is sized to accompany a low cup, and the pack of 36 makes it a practical choice for outfitting a section or refreshing existing covers.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a sensible choice for busy front-of-house environments. It offers good resistance to thermal shock, which matters in kitchens where crockery moves frequently between hot drinks service and commercial dishwashers. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects genuine confidence in the durability of the glaze and body — edge chipping is one of the most common attrition points in high-turnover cover operations, and a warranty against it reduces the unpredictable cost of replacing pieces mid-season.
The Rio range is designed with colour coordination in mind. The green colourway can be mixed with other Rio shades to create a varied table setting, or used consistently for a uniform look. This flexibility is useful for operators who want a relaxed, informal aesthetic without investing in bespoke or made-to-order pieces.
For sites running high cover volumes, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would better suit your needs, or whether additional Rio pieces — cups, plates, and bowls in the same range — would complete the service set. If you are building out a full table setting or unsure how the Rio colours coordinate in practice, the team is happy to advise before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Rio range is designed so that the colour wash is applied consistently across cups, saucers, plates, and bowls, allowing operators to mix and match pieces within the range. Bear in mind that hand-applied finishes can carry slight natural variation, which is characteristic of the range rather than a quality issue.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to the thermal cycling of commercial dishwashers, with better resistance to thermal shock than standard vitrified china. The lifetime edge chip warranty reflects this durability, though as with all ceramic tableware, the rate of attrition will depend on racking practice and the volume of covers being turned.
- For a small café or a single section in a larger venue, 36 pieces is a workable starting quantity. Operators running higher cover volumes or faster table turns may want to factor in a percentage for attrition and hold additional stock — it is worth planning your full tableware requirement before ordering to ensure you can reorder the same colourway if needed.
