Product Description
The Steelite Simplicity White low cup saucer is a 165mm all-purpose saucer designed to complement standard cup sizes across café, hotel, pub, and casual dining operations. Part of Steelite's long-established Simplicity White range, it offers a clean, undecorated white finish that works alongside almost any tableware scheme without clashing or dating.
In busy service environments, plain white crockery takes a considerable amount of daily handling — stacking, machine washing, rapid table turns, and contact with cutlery and cup bases. The alumina vitrified ceramic body is notably harder and more dense than standard earthenware, which gives it better resistance to chipping and surface crazing under repeated commercial use. Steelite's lifetime edge chip warranty reflects the confidence the manufacturer places in the material's performance over time.
From a practical standpoint, this saucer offers operators several day-to-day advantages:
- Compatible with commercial dishwashers, microwave ovens, and freezer storage
- Good heat retention helps keep drinks at temperature during service
- The neutral white finish suits branded, seasonal, and unthemed tableware layouts equally
- Pack quantity of 36 provides a useful working stock for most café and breakfast service settings
There are no special handling or storage requirements beyond standard crockery care. The saucer is straightforward to integrate into existing Simplicity White sets or used alongside other plain white ranges where a consistent look is the priority.
This saucer is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast and lounge operations, pub dining rooms, and similar mid-to-high-volume hospitality settings. For operations with very high covers or centralised banqueting requirements, larger pack quantities or case buys may be worth considering.
If you're building out a full table setting or unsure how many covers a pack of 36 will practically cover in your operation, the team is happy to help you work through quantities before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a café or hotel breakfast operation, 36 saucers will typically cover around 12 to 18 covers at any one time once you account for items in use, in the dishwasher, and in reserve. High-turnover sites or those running continuous service across multiple sittings usually find it practical to hold two or three packs as working stock.
- The 165mm diameter is a standard size that suits most commercially sized tea and coffee cups, including those outside the Simplicity White range. That said, if you're building a matched set, it's worth confirming cup base dimensions with us before ordering in quantity to avoid a mismatch in proportions.
- Alumina vitrified ceramic is considerably denser and harder than standard vitrified or earthenware bodies, which makes it more resistant to surface crazing and edge chipping over repeated high-temperature dishwasher cycles. In commercial kitchens running multiple washes per shift, this translates to a longer service life and lower ongoing replacement costs compared to lower-grade alternatives.
