Steelite Vesuvius Essence Amber Bowls 165mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius Essence range is a collection of porcelain tableware finished in reactive glazes, each piece carrying natural variation in tone and depth of colour. The Amber glaze produces warm, earthy tones that shift subtly across the surface — a result of the firing process rather than applied decoration. These 165mm bowls are sold in packs of twelve, making them a practical quantity for initial service sets or topping up existing covers.

Reactive glaze porcelain of this type is commonly used in restaurants, bistros, and casual dining venues where operators want tableware that contributes to the overall feel of a dish without overshadowing the food. The natural variation between pieces means no two bowls are identical, which suits eclectic or contemporary menu presentations well. At 400g per piece the bowls have a solid, considered weight in hand without being cumbersome to carry in multiples during service.

• Reactive amber glaze with natural tonal variation across each piece
• Porcelain construction suitable for commercial dishwasher cycles
• 165mm diameter well suited to starter portions, sides, and desserts
• Pack of 12 aligns with standard cover and breakage replacement needs
• Part of the wider Vesuvius Essence range, available in complementary glazes

There are no special installation or service requirements for tableware of this type, though operators should confirm dishwasher compatibility with their machine supplier if unusually aggressive wash cycles are in use. The reactive glaze surface should be inspected periodically, as with all decorative porcelain, for crazing or chipping that can harbour bacteria over time.

These bowls are well suited to independent restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and gastropubs looking to add visual interest to their table setting without the uniformity of plain white ware. The Vesuvius Essence range also includes Lapis and Emerald glazes, which can be mixed across a table setting or used to differentiate courses.
