Steelite Smoke Bowls 178mm 435ml Porcelain (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Smoke collection is a range of porcelain tableware designed around a concrete-effect grey aesthetic. The 178mm bowl holds 435ml and is finished with subtle tonal variation and reactive darker elements that echo the visual effects of browning and searing — creating a considered visual link between the cooking process and the plate presentation. Sold in a pack of twelve, these bowls are intended for professional front-of-house use rather than domestic settings.

In service, porcelain of this construction handles the practical demands of a busy restaurant or café environment reliably. The material resists chipping better than earthenware alternatives and holds up well through commercial dishwasher cycles, which is a relevant consideration when tableware is turning over quickly during a full service.

From an operational standpoint, the Smoke range is particularly well suited to venues where plate presentation matters as much as the food itself — contemporary restaurants, urban bistros, and café-style dining rooms where the table setting is part of the overall guest experience. The understated grey tone works across a wide range of food styles and colour palettes, which reduces the risk of tableware clashing with seasonal menu changes.

There are no complex installation or storage requirements. Standard shelving and commercial dishwasher compatibility apply. As with any patterned or reactive-glaze tableware, checking manufacturer care guidance before using harsh chemical sanitisers is advisable to preserve the finish over time.

If you are building or refreshing a tableware set and want to discuss quantities, mix-and-match options within the Smoke range, or suitability for a particular service style, the team is happy to help you work through the detail before you place an order.
