Cup RAK Shale R-SH116CU23-12 230 ml ceramic drinking cup

RAK Shale 230 ml ceramic cup (model R-SH116CU23-12) is a compact drinking cup designed for everyday service of hot and cold beverages. The cup features a textured Shale finish and a 230 ml capacity, offering a balanced size for coffee, tea or soft drinks. Constructed from durable ceramic, it is stackable to save space and is suitable for both commercial and home environments.

Advantages

The Shale surface provides a tactile, natural-looking texture that hides minor marks and fits varied table settings. Its 230 ml volume is practical for single-serve portions while the ceramic material retains beverage temperature and resists thermal shock under normal use. The cup is designed to be stackable for efficient storage, and it is compatible with routine machine cleaning to reduce manual handling.

Suitable for

• Cafés and restaurants serving individual portions of coffee or tea
• Office kitchens and meeting rooms for hot and cold drinks
• Home use for daily beverages and casual entertaining
• Catering services or venues where stackable tableware saves space

When it may not be suitable

This ceramic cup may not be the best choice when unbreakable or ultra-lightweight tableware is required, such as for outdoor events where dropping and breaking are likely. It may also be less suitable for very large servings because of its 230 ml capacity.
