Product Description
The Steelite Willow bowl is a small, round tableware piece finished in plain white with a subtly textured woven surface pattern. Made from alumina vitrified ceramic, it holds 140ml and is sized for condiments, dips, sauces, sides, or small amuse-bouche portions. The pack format — 36 units — is intended for commercial dining operations where consistent stock levels across a cover count matter.
Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for front-of-house use. It is denser and harder than standard porcelain, which means it handles the routine stacking, knocks, and repeated dishwasher cycles that come with high-volume service without the chip rate you would expect from lighter tableware. The Willow pattern holds its appearance well over time, and the white glaze does not show staining easily under normal use.
From an operational standpoint, this bowl suits a range of service styles:
- Portion control for sauces and dips without the need for ramekins
- Side dish presentation on sharing boards or set menus
- Consistent sizing across all covers, reducing front-of-house variation
- Dishwasher safe, supporting quick turnaround between services
- Pack of 36 aligns with standard cover counts and reduces reorder frequency
Because these are sold in packs of 36, they are best suited to restaurants, hotels, contract catering, and event venues that need a reliable stock of matching pieces. For operators running very high covers or fast-casual environments with a high breakage rate, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity would be more practical.
If you are unsure how this bowl fits alongside your existing tableware programme or need guidance on quantities for a particular cover count, the team is happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. Alumina vitrified ceramic is designed to withstand repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without significant degradation to the glaze or pattern. It is denser than standard porcelain, which helps it cope with the thermal stress of high-temperature wash programmes over time.
- As a general guide, most operations aim for two to three times their cover count in tableware to allow for items in use, in the wash, and held in reserve. For a 40-cover restaurant, two packs of 36 would provide a working stock with some buffer, though high-turnover services or venues with a higher breakage rate may want additional stock.
- The 140ml size makes them well suited to sauce and condiment portions, small sides, or amuse-bouche on a set menu. They are commonly used in restaurants, hotel dining, and contract catering environments where consistent, smartly presented smallware is needed across a structured menu.
