Product Description
The Steelite Vesuvius Essence bowl in Lapis is a 112mm porcelain piece sold in packs of twelve. It forms part of Steelite's Vesuvius range, which is built around three reactive glaze colourways — Amber, Emerald, and Lapis — each producing a naturally varied finish that differs slightly from piece to piece as a result of the firing process. The Lapis glaze gives a deep blue tone with the kind of surface variation that works well against both modern and more traditional plating styles.
In a busy restaurant or hospitality setting, reactive-glaze tableware needs to hold up to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the finish degrading noticeably. Steelite's porcelain body is well regarded in the industry for its durability under daily service conditions, and the Vesuvius range is designed with that kind of operational use in mind rather than occasional or domestic service.
This bowl size suits smaller courses — amuse-bouche, pre-desserts, side portions, or smaller tasting-menu elements — where presentation matters but volume is modest. The 112mm diameter makes it a practical choice for operators building a coordinated tabletop across multiple bowl sizes within the Vesuvius Essence range.
- Consistent porcelain construction suited to commercial dishwashing cycles
- Reactive glaze produces natural surface variation, adding visual character
- Coordinates with other Vesuvius Essence colourways for a cohesive table setting
- Suitable for small plates, side courses, and tasting-menu presentations
- Pack of twelve supports standard restaurant par stock requirements
If you're building a full tableware specification or need guidance on mixing sizes and colourways across a menu, we're happy to talk it through before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — the Vesuvius Essence range is designed so that Lapis, Amber, and Emerald can be used alongside each other. The reactive glaze process means each piece has a slightly unique finish, which tends to complement rather than clash when colourways are mixed deliberately as part of a table concept.
- Steelite's porcelain tableware is produced for commercial hospitality use and is intended to withstand regular commercial dishwasher cycles. The reactive glaze is fired as part of the porcelain body rather than applied as a surface coating, which contributes to its durability under repeated washing.
- At 112mm, this bowl works well for smaller course applications — amuse-bouche, pre-desserts, side dishes, or individual tasting portions. It is less suited to main course or larger sharing-bowl use, for which the Vesuvius Essence range offers larger sizes.
