Steelite Vesuvius Essence Bowls Burnt Emerald 165mm (Pack of 12)

The Steelite Vesuvius Essence bowl in Burnt Emerald is a 165mm porcelain bowl finished in a reactive glaze that produces natural variation across each piece. Because the glaze reacts during firing, no two bowls are identical — depth of colour and surface character differ subtly from one to the next, which is a deliberate quality of the range rather than a defect.

In service, that visual variation works well on the pass. The rich emerald tone provides strong contrast against most plated dishes and holds its own under ambient and pendant lighting alike. The porcelain construction keeps the bowl practical — it handles the daily demands of a busy kitchen, stacks cleanly, and is dishwasher suitable for straightforward turnaround between covers.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• Reactive glaze means colour tone varies between pieces — consistent across a batch, less so between separate orders
• 165mm diameter makes this a starter, dessert, or small-plate bowl rather than a main-course piece
• Porcelain construction at 400g per piece — durable but not chip-proof under heavy daily use
• Sold in packs of 12 — factor this into cover counts and breakage allowances
• Available alongside Amber and Lapis glazes in the same Vesuvius Essence range for a complementary mixed presentation

This bowl suits restaurants, bistros, and independent dining operations looking to add visual depth to their tableware without moving away from practical, serviceable porcelain. It works particularly well in settings where an eclectic or sharing-plate menu style benefits from tableware that feels considered rather than uniform.
