Product Description
The Steelite Rio Green Slimline Saucer is part of Steelite's Rio range — a collection built around hand-applied colour washes that give each piece a relaxed, informal character. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, these saucers are produced to a commercial standard and are intended for front-of-house use in busy hospitality environments rather than occasional domestic service.
Rio works well in settings where operators want to move away from plain white crockery without committing to a heavily patterned range. The colour wash gives a natural variation from piece to piece, which suits a bistro or café aesthetic and reads well on a table set for informal dining. The slimline profile keeps the footprint modest, which is useful where tray space or table layouts are tight.
In practical terms, the alumina vitrified ceramic construction offers good resistance to thermal shock and chipping during normal service handling — relevant on any busy pass or in a high-turnover café environment. Steelite backs the range with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is worth noting when calculating long-term replacement costs against a cheaper alternative.
- Hand-applied colour wash gives a natural, informal bistro character
- Thermal shock resistance supports reliable performance through busy service
- Slimline profile suits tighter table layouts and compact tray setups
- Alumina vitrified ceramic construction holds up well under daily commercial use
- Colours within the Rio range can be mixed to vary the look across covers
This pack of 36 is a sensible opening quantity for a small café or as a top-up for an existing Rio set. Larger operations or those opening multiple covers simultaneously may want to consider a higher pack quantity to maintain a consistent front-of-house stock. If you're building a full Rio cover — mixing sizes, colours, or coordinating with cups and bowls — it's worth speaking with us before ordering to make sure quantities and colour combinations work together.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a small café running one sitting at a time, 36 saucers will typically cover a modest number of covers with enough buffer for items in the wash. Busier operations or those running multiple sittings back-to-back will generally want a larger standing stock — as a rule of thumb, allow for at least one and a half times your cover count to keep the pass moving without waiting on the dishwasher.
- Yes — the Rio range is designed with colour mixing in mind, and many operators use two or three colourways across a single service to create a relaxed, eclectic table. If you're planning a mixed set, it's worth confirming which sizes and colours are available across the range before ordering to make sure everything coordinates as expected.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic incorporates alumina oxide into the body, which generally improves chip resistance and durability compared to standard vitrified china — a useful property in high-turnover environments where crockery is handled quickly and stacked frequently. It's a common choice for mid-to-upper casual dining operations that want commercial durability without moving to a fully reinforced range.
