Steelite Vesuvius Essence Amber Bowls 140mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius Essence Amber bowl is a 140mm porcelain bowl finished in a reactive amber glaze. Reactive glazes produce natural variation across each piece, meaning no two bowls are identical — a characteristic that works well on contemporary covers where a handcrafted aesthetic is part of the dining experience.

In practice, porcelain at this weight and size performs reliably in a busy restaurant environment. The bowls are practical for small starters, amuse-bouche, desserts, or side dishes, and the 140mm diameter gives chefs a workable canvas without overwhelming the plate presentation. The Vesuvius range is produced across three glaze colourways — Amber, Lapis, and Emerald — which are designed to complement one another, so operators can mix tones across a cover if that suits the concept.

A few things worth considering when specifying these for service:

• Reactive glaze means colour variation between pieces — consistent in character, not in exact shade
• Porcelain construction offers good chip resistance for everyday service use
• Supplied in packs of 12, which suits initial orders or top-up purchasing alongside existing stock
• The amber colourway works particularly well against natural linen, dark slate, and warm timber table surfaces
• Compatible with the broader Vesuvius Essence range for mixed-glaze table settings

This bowl is well suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, and food-led venues where tableware is considered part of the overall guest experience. It is less suited to high-throughput canteen or contract catering environments where uniformity of finish is a practical requirement.

If you are building a full cover specification or want to understand how the Vesuvius colourways work together on the table, the team is happy to talk it through before you commit to quantities.
