Product Description
The Steelite Spyro handled soup cup is a white, alumina vitrified ceramic piece finished with a subtle swirling embossed detail. At 285ml it is sized for soup service, consommé, or similar starter courses, and the twin-handled form makes it practical to carry from pass to table without additional tools.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a sensible choice for front-of-house catering ware that sees repeated service cycles. It offers good resistance to thermal shock and staining, which matters when cups are moving between hot dishwashers, cold storage, and hot kitchens several times a day. The robust glaze helps maintain the cup's appearance over time, reducing early replacement in busy operations. Steelite back their Spyro range with a lifetime edge chip warranty, which is a practical indicator of confidence in the product's durability.
In practical terms, the Spyro cup works well across a range of service styles:
- Suitable for banqueting and large-cover events where uniformity matters
- Appropriate for fine dining and brasserie settings where table presentation is considered
- Handles make the cup manageable for front-of-house staff during fast-paced service
- Pack quantity of 36 supports decent par stock for medium to large covers
- White finish integrates with most existing tableware ranges
There are no particular installation or infrastructure requirements for tableware of this type. Standard commercial dishwasher cycles are appropriate given the thermal shock resistance of the material. Storage considerations are straightforward, though as with all ceramic pieces, stacking practices will affect long-term condition.
This cup is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers running structured menu service. For very high-volume operations or where breakage rates are a significant operational concern, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size or a higher par stock would be more practical.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is well suited to commercial dishwasher cycles. The thermal shock resistance of the material helps it withstand the rapid temperature changes involved in repeated machine washing, which is important in any operation running multiple service covers per day.
- That depends on your service style and turnaround time. For a restaurant running one sitting per service, 36 cups may comfortably cover a section. For banqueting or multi-sitting operations, most operators build a higher par stock to allow for washing cycles and breakage. It is worth working through your typical cover numbers and dishwasher cycle time before finalising quantities.
- The Spyro cup is finished in white, which means it will sit alongside most white Steelite ranges on the table without obvious conflict. That said, if you are specifying a consistent tableware scheme across a full menu, it is worth checking that the profile and glaze finish feel coherent together — our team can help if you are putting together a broader tableware specification.
