Product Description
The Steelite Smoke Dipper Taster is a small porcelain piece designed for presenting amuse-bouche, single-bite tasters, or pre-dessert offerings. At 65mm in diameter, it sits comfortably in the hand and provides just enough surface area for a considered, composed portion without excess. The Smoke collection draws its aesthetic from the visual language of cooking — the grey tones and reactive darker elements are intended to echo the effects of browning and searing, creating a deliberate connection between the vessel and what is served in it.
In practice, these pieces work well in fine dining, tasting menus, and event catering where presentation is part of the service experience. The concrete-effect finish gives a tactile, urban quality that suits modern plating styles without imposing a particular cuisine. Being porcelain, they are robust enough for regular service use and straightforward to clean in a commercial dishwasher.
A few practical points worth considering before ordering:
- The 65mm format is suited to single-bite presentations — not suitable for anything requiring depth or volume
- Supplied in packs of 12, which suits smaller services or where dippers are rotated into an existing set
- The reactive glaze finish means individual pieces will vary slightly in appearance — this is characteristic of the range, not a defect
- At 80g per piece, they are light enough for passed canapé service
This piece is well suited to restaurants running tasting menus, private dining operations, and hospitality caterers where tableware is considered part of the guest experience. If you are building a larger set or need guidance on coordinating pieces across the Smoke range, we are happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Being porcelain, the Smoke Dipper Tasters are suitable for commercial dishwasher use in regular service. The reactive glaze finish is durable under normal warewashing conditions, though as with all reactive-glazed pieces, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents will help preserve the surface over time.
- The Smoke collection uses a reactive glaze process, which means individual pieces will vary subtly in tone and the distribution of darker elements. This variation is intentional and characteristic of the range — it is not a quality defect. If consistency of appearance across a full cover is important to your service, it is worth viewing samples before committing to a large order.
- That depends on your cover count, the number of courses using this format, and your warewashing turnaround during service. As a general guide, most operators aim to hold at least 1.5 times their seated cover count to allow for breakages and dishwasher cycles mid-service. If you would like help working out a practical quantity for your operation, we are glad to talk it through.
