Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Lapis coupe bowls are large-format porcelain bowls finished in a reactive glaze that produces natural variation in colour and depth across each piece. Lapis is one of three glazes in the Vesuvius collection — alongside Amber and Emerald — and sits in a deep blue tone that shifts subtly from piece to piece as a result of the firing process. At 290mm, these are substantial bowls suited to generous main-course plating or sharing presentations.
Porcelain of this weight and construction handles the repetitive demands of commercial service well. The coupe profile — wide and relatively shallow with no defined rim — gives chefs a clean canvas for contemporary plating styles, and the bowl's depth is sufficient for pasta, risotto, noodle dishes, and similar portion sizes without spilling during service.
- Reactive glaze creates natural variation — each piece is visually distinct without being mismatched
- Coupe profile suits modern plating and works well on both set menus and à la carte covers
- 290mm diameter accommodates generous portions without feeling oversized on the table
- Porcelain construction withstands the routine stresses of commercial dishwashing cycles
- Sold in packs of six, practical for building or supplementing an existing cover count
As with any reactive glaze, it is worth being aware that colour and surface character will vary between individual pieces — this is a feature of the process rather than a quality inconsistency, but it is worth considering if your table setting requires a very uniform appearance. The Vesuvius range is designed so that the three glaze colours complement one another, which gives flexibility when mixing across a table or across courses.
These bowls are well suited to restaurants, bistros, and hotel dining rooms looking to add colour and character to their tableware without moving away from porcelain durability. If you are building a larger cover count or want to discuss how the Vesuvius range works across different course formats, we are happy to help you think it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The variation is intentional. Reactive glazes respond to the kiln environment during firing, which means no two pieces are identical. The differences in tone and surface character are part of what makes the Vesuvius range visually distinctive, but if uniformity is a priority for your table setting, it is worth discussing before ordering.
- Yes — the three glazes in the Vesuvius collection are designed to work alongside one another. Mixing across courses or across a table setting is a common approach and can add visual interest without the pieces looking mismatched.
- The porcelain construction is suited to the demands of commercial dishwashing. As with all glazed tableware, the longevity of the finish depends on the chemistry and temperature of the wash cycle, so it is worth reviewing your machine settings if you are running an aggressive programme.
