Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Tea Room in Harrogate was looking to move away from plain white crockery. They wanted something that reflected their friendly, traditional-yet-modern vibe and  could withstand a relentless stream of customers, especially during tourist season.

"We're so pleased we chose the Steelite Rio range. The blue is just stunning and  really lifts the look of our tables. They’ve been through our dishwasher countless times and  there's not a single chip or faded patch to be seen. They just feel like quality."

Robert Finch – Manager

The switch resulted in a noticeable drop in their quarterly replacement orders, reducing their crockery costs by over 25% in the first year.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, give the box a quick check and  unpack the saucers carefully.
  • Run them through a hot wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
  • Stack them neatly on a dry shelf, ready for service. The glazed foot helps prevent scratching.

Keeping It Going

  • Always scrape or rinse off leftover food before stacking to protect the glaze.
  • For any stubborn marks, use a soft cloth or non-abrasive cream cleaner.
  • Regularly check your dishwasher’s rinse aid to prevent water spots and  keep them sparkling.
  • While they are tough, avoid dropping them from a height to ensure a long life.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Crockery

Not sure which collection is the best fit for your establishment? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material is Key

For any busy commercial environment, alumina vitrified ceramic is the industry standard for strength and  longevity. It’s a sound investment.

Match Your Vibe

Colour can transform a table setting. A vibrant shade like the Steelite Rio blue adds personality, while classic white offers timeless appeal.

Stacking & Storage

Look for features like a glazed foot. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference, preventing scratches when items are stacked and  improving overall hygiene.

Check for Chip Resistance

Features like rolled edges and  reinforced materials are designed to prevent chipping at the weakest points, saving you money on replacements.

Think About the Family

Does the saucer have matching cups, bowls, and  plates? Buying into a range ensures a consistent, professional look across all your service.

Consider Pack Sizes

Buying crockery in case quantities, like this box of 36, is almost always more cost-effective and  ensures you have enough stock for busy periods.

Why 'Vitrified Ceramic' is Your Kitchen’s Best Friend

Ever wondered what makes commercial crockery so much tougher than the stuff you have at home? A big part of the secret is 'vitrification'. During manufacturing, the ceramic is fired at an incredibly high temperature, which melts the clay and  other particles together until it becomes glassy and  non-porous. Think of it like this: a normal plate is like a sponge, capable of soaking up water, oils, and  bacteria over time. A vitrified plate, however, is like a solid piece of glass – nothing gets in. This not only makes it far more hygienic but also stops it from getting weakened by water absorption in the dishwasher. When you add Alumina to the mix, you’re essentially adding a strengthening ingredient, making it far more resistant to chips and  knocks. It’s the science behind crockery that lasts.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Independent Cafés & Coffee Shops: Use this cafe crockery blue saucer to add a vibrant, welcoming pop of colour to your daily service.
  • Hotel Restaurants & B&Bs: An excellent choice for high-volume breakfast service, offering durability that doesn't compromise on style.
  • Workplace & University Canteens: This tough, chip-resistant Steelite V3070 crockery can easily handle the demands of hundreds of daily users.
  • Garden Centre Tea Rooms: The charming blue perfectly complements a friendly, rustic atmosphere for serving afternoon tea and  cake.
