"Olympia Kiln isn’t just about rustic charm – it’s built to handle the hustle of busy service while still looking effortlessly stylish. If you want tableware that adds character to your plating and survives the dishwasher marathon, this is your go-to range."

How Olympia Kiln Tableware Works

The magic of Olympia Kiln lies in its clever manufacturing process. Each piece begins with high-quality porcelain clay, shaped into classic forms before being hand-finished with a special reactive glaze. During firing at extremely high temperatures, this glaze creates unique variations in colour and finish—making every plate, bowl and mug genuinely one-of-a-kind. The slightly uneven edges and speckled appearance deliberately mimic handcrafted pottery while maintaining the consistency restaurants need. Despite their rustic appearance, these pieces are precision-engineered for stacking, storage efficiency, and to withstand the demands of busy professional kitchens.

Safety Guidelines

  • Temperature Limits Avoid extreme temperature changes—prevents thermal shock cracking.
  • Careful Handling Check for chips before service—prevents contamination risks.
  • Proper Storage Stack carefully with dividers—reduces breakage hazards.
  • Chip Inspection Remove damaged pieces from service—prevents food safety issues.
  • Staff Training Teach proper handling techniques—minimizes accidents.
  • Thorough Cleaning Ensure complete drying—prevents bacterial growth.

Top Tips for Using Olympia Kiln Tableware

To get the most from your Olympia Kiln collection, we recommend starting with core pieces and expanding as needed. Embrace the natural variations rather than trying to match pieces exactly—that's part of the charm! For dramatic food presentation, contrast dark sauces on the lighter inner surfaces. When washing, avoid abrasive scourers that might damage the reactive glaze. Complete your rustic theme with natural linen napkins and simple cutlery for a cohesive dining aesthetic that guests will remember.
