Steelite Willow Mug 285ml – Alumina Vitrified (Pack of 36)

The Steelite Willow mug is a standard-format hot drinks mug produced in alumina vitrified ceramic, carrying the Willow pattern across the full exterior. At 280ml it sits comfortably in the standard mug range — large enough for a generous tea or coffee without being oversized — and the pattern gives it a degree of visual character without straying into novelty.

Alumina vitrified ceramic is a practical choice for commercial hospitality. The material is harder and denser than standard earthenware, which translates directly into better resistance to chipping along the rim and foot ring — the two points where mugs most commonly fail in a busy wash cycle. Each mug weighs 310g, which gives it a reassuring feel in the hand without adding unnecessary weight to a fully loaded tray.

For front-of-house operations, the key practical points are:

• Chip-resistant glaze suited to repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• Uniform pattern finish supports consistent table presentation
• Pack of 36 reduces the frequency of repeat ordering for mid-sized operations
• Stackable profile helps manage storage in compact service areas
• Suitable for standard commercial dishwasher programmes

Sold in packs of 36, this mug is well suited to cafés, hotel breakfast operations, staff restaurants, and similar settings where a reliable, presentable mug is needed in volume. Operations with very high covers or those running multiple sittings may want to consider a larger opening quantity to maintain sufficient stock through peak service and washing cycles.

If you are unsure how many covers this pack size will support for your service pattern, or whether the Willow range works alongside your existing tableware, the team is happy to talk it through.
