Why this cup earns its place
These are unhandled cups, which means they stack tighter and pack more bowls into the same footprint. At 52mm tall and 109mm across, they're the working size for bisque, chowder, consommé and lighter first courses. The 285ml capacity is precisely the right fill for a restaurant soup spoon without overflow risk.
Steelite's Alina embossment—the signature ring around the centre—works beautifully on soup service. It draws the eye down to the contents, highlights garnish and colour, and creates a visual stopping point that reads as intentional design. The white ceramic is a neutral background for vibrant broths and purees.
The fully glazed base prevents crazing and chipping through the hundreds of covers you'll serve in a season. Temperature-resistant to 350°F, these bowls tolerate rapid transitions from freezer to dishwasher without cracking. The 36-pack is the catering standard—enough to run continuous service without day-to-day reordering, small enough to fit a reasonable shelf space.
