- Best-in-Class Durability: The reinforced ceramic is exceptionally resilient for commercial environments.
- Colour Consideration: Ensure the vibrant green complements your existing branding and decor scheme.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Room, a popular spot in Harrogate, was struggling with its existing tableware which chipped easily and looked tired, detracting from their carefully crafted customer experience.
"We were constantly replacing our old saucers. They looked awful within weeks and it just wasn't professional. The Steelite Rio saucers were an investment, but one that has paid for itself. They look as good today as they did six months ago, despite countless cycles through the dishwasher."
Robert Mills – Owner
The switch resulted in a 75% reduction in their quarterly tableware replacement costs and a noticeable improvement in customer feedback regarding presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and inspect all saucers for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- When stacking, place them carefully to take advantage of the glazed foot which prevents scratching.
Keeping It Going
- These saucers are tough, but avoid using harsh steel wool or overly abrasive scouring pads.
- Rinse off any acidic food residues like lemon promptly to keep the glaze looking its best.
- Ensure saucers are completely dry before stacking and storing to maintain hygiene.
- While chip-resistant, it's always best to avoid dropping them from a height onto hard surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these saucers sold individually?
A: No, they are supplied in a pack of 36, which is ideal for kitting out a commercial establishment and ensuring you have plenty of spares during a busy service.
Q: Does the green colour fade or wash off over time?
A: Not at all. The colour is an integral part of the durable glaze which is fired onto the ceramic, ensuring it remains vibrant through countless dishwasher cycles.
Q: What does 'alumina vitrified ceramic' actually mean?
A: It's a high-strength ceramic that has been fired at extreme temperatures to make it non-porous (vitrified) and has been reinforced with alumina for superior strength and chip resistance.
Q: Can they handle rapid temperature changes, like from the fridge to a hot plate?
A: Yes, they have excellent thermal shock resistance, which is a key benefit for professional kitchen environments where items move between hot and cold zones quickly.
Q: Will they get stained by strong coffee or tea?
A: No, the vitrified glaze creates a non-porous surface that is highly resistant to staining, keeping your cafe saucer plates looking fresh.
Q: Do these Steelite Rio saucers 150mm have an indent for the cup?
A: Yes, they feature a central, shallow well designed to keep standard-sized tea and coffee cups secure and prevent them from sliding.
Q: Are there matching green cups available in the Steelite Rio range?
A: Yes, the Steelite Rio collection includes a wide variety of matching and complementary items, allowing you to build a complete and cohesive tableware set.
Q: Is the base of the saucer rough? Will it scratch my tables?
A: No, these saucers feature a fully glazed foot, which means the bottom is smooth and won't scratch other plates when stacked or your tabletops.

Explore more from SteeliteWhat Makes 'Alumina Vitrified' So Tough?
Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? It's all in the 'Alumina Vitrified' magic. 'Vitrification' is a process where the ceramic is fired at incredibly high temperatures until it becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means it won't absorb water, flavours, or stains. Then, 'Alumina' – a super-hard compound also known as aluminium oxide – is added to the mix. Think of it like adding steel rods to concrete to make it stronger. This combination creates a final product that is massively resistant to chips, cracks, and the thermal shock of going from a hot wash to a cold shelf. It’s the secret sauce that makes this Steelite green saucer plate ready for the rigours of a professional kitchen.
