Dark grey vitrified porcelain brings a modern, industrial edge to commercial beverage service. Securing your graphite saucer - 6. hire gives event organisers a stable, heavy-duty base for hot drinks. Weighing 0.23kg and measuring 160mm across, this saucer accommodates matching 12oz cups. The deep graphite finish suits corporate conferences, tech summits, and contemporary hospitality spaces where traditional white crockery feels out of place. You can check live stock levels and pricing directly on this page before adding items to your basket.
Manufacturers craft this piece from Porcelite Seasons Vitrified Porcelain. The vitrification process fires the clay at extreme temperatures, creating a non-porous surface that resists chipping during busy service periods. Event staff handle hundreds of covers per hour, and this commercial-grade material withstands the heavy impact of high-volume catering. The 25mm height creates a deep central well, locking the cup into position and reducing the risk of hot liquid spills as waiters navigate crowded rooms.
Graphite styling works exceptionally well for evening networking events, VIP lounges, and modern exhibition stands. The dark tone hides minor coffee drips during service, maintaining a clean presentation throughout long business forums. Event planners often pair this dark grey saucer with rustic wooden surfaces or minimalist black table hire setups. Integrating this piece into your broader catering equipment hire order allows you to build a cohesive, moody aesthetic across your entire venue. You can match it with other items from the Graphite crockery hire range to complete the look.
Managing post-event cleanup takes time, so Expo Hire includes a "Send It Back Dirty" service with all crockery orders. Your team packs the unwashed saucers back into their transport crates, and our warehouse handles the cleaning. We also apply a Free Minor Damage Waiver to every order, covering accidental chips or breakages without hidden fees. You pay no security deposit, freeing up your budget for other event requirements. Our system calculates delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest regional depot directly to your venue.

Unless the two person carriage charge has been paid for, deliveries and collections are made by a single driver, who has 15 minutes to deliver or collect your order.
Our drivers are not allowed to take items up or down stairs or into lifts, and all deliveries need to be made within 50 metres of the vehicle. Any delays beyond the standard delivery time caused by access issues or items not being ready will be charged at £120 per hour or part thereof.
If a driver arrives and delivery or collection is impossible then unfortunately a wasted journey charge will apply. You will be sent a live tracking link so you can monitor your delivery in real time — our drivers do not make phone calls to notify of arrival times.
If access to collecting the hired equipment is denied, blocked, or impassable, a wasted collection journey will be automatically charged. Any parking tickets issued to vehicles whilst executing a delivery or collection will be charged for whilst we appeal.
