Steelite Rio Yellow Soup Cups 285ml (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Rio Yellow soup cup is an unhandled, 285ml ceramic cup finished with a hand-applied colour wash that gives each piece a distinctive, informal character. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it is built to the standards expected of professional tableware — resistant to thermal shock and designed to hold up under the daily demands of a busy service environment.

In practical terms, alumina vitrified ceramic is a well-proven choice for commercial operations. It is denser and more durable than standard earthenware, which matters when cups are going through dishwashers multiple times a day, being stacked in back-of-house, and handled at pace during service. The Rio range carries a lifetime edge chip warranty, which reflects the confidence behind the construction and reduces the cost of ongoing replacement in the long run.

The colour wash finish makes Rio a practical option for operators who want to introduce some visual warmth without committing to a formal fine-dining aesthetic. The yellow tone works well in bistro, café, and informal restaurant settings, and the Rio range is designed so that different colours within the collection can be mixed and matched if a more eclectic table setting suits the concept.

• Suitable for soups, broths, and hot starters in café or bistro service
• Dishwasher safe and built for high-frequency commercial use
• Thermal shock resistance supports confident movement between kitchen and table
• Consistent colour finish works well alongside other Rio colourways

This pack contains 36 cups, which suits an initial setup or a top-up order for an established site. For operations running high covers or multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger initial quantity makes sense to account for breakage over time.

If you are unsure how many covers this quantity will support in practice, or whether a different size within the Rio range would better suit your menu, the team is happy to talk it through.
