Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius range is a collection of porcelain tableware finished in one of three reactive glazes — Amber, Lapis, and Emerald. This listing covers the Lapis colourway in the coupe bowl profile at 130mm, supplied in packs of twelve. Reactive glazes produce natural variation between individual pieces, meaning no two bowls are identical, which is a deliberate characteristic of the range rather than a quality inconsistency.
In a service environment, the coupe bowl format — shallow, with a wide, flat rim — works well for contemporary plating styles. It suits small starters, amuse-bouche, sharing portions, and dessert courses where presentation space matters. The 130mm diameter positions these as a smaller bowl, practical for tasting menus, pre-starters, or side servings rather than a main-course soup or pasta bowl.
Porcelain at this weight class is designed to hold up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, and Steelite's glazes are formulated to resist the kind of surface dulling that can affect cheaper alternatives over time. The Lapis glaze — a deep, variable blue — provides a strong visual contrast against lighter foods, which many chefs find useful when composing a plate.
- Reactive glaze finish adds visual interest without additional garnish
- Coupe profile gives clean presentation space for fine dining courses
- Supplied in twelves, suited to building or restocking a cover set
- Porcelain construction handles regular commercial dishwasher use
These bowls are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining, and any operation where tableware is part of the overall dining experience. If you are specifying tableware across multiple bowl sizes or considering the full Vesuvius range to build a cohesive table set, it is worth having a conversation with us before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The variation is entirely intentional and is a defining characteristic of reactive glazed porcelain. Each piece interacts slightly differently with the kiln atmosphere during firing, producing natural tonal shifts within the Lapis colourway. This is standard across the Vesuvius range and is part of the aesthetic rather than a manufacturing defect.
- At 130mm, this is a smaller coupe bowl rather than a full main-course size. It is most commonly used for amuse-bouche, pre-starters, small desserts, or side servings. Operations running tasting menus or multi-course fine dining formats tend to find this size particularly useful as part of a broader bowl range.
- Steelite porcelain is produced to withstand regular commercial dishwasher use, and the Vesuvius glaze is formulated to resist the surface dulling that can affect lower-quality reactive finishes over time. As with all premium tableware, avoiding harsh abrasive detergents and stacking carefully will help maintain the finish across a longer service life.
