How Olympia Enamel Tableware Works

Olympia Enamel tableware is crafted through a meticulous process where powdered glass is fused onto a metal substrate at extremely high temperatures. The result is a smooth, non-porous surface that's naturally resistant to staining, bacteria, and odours. Each piece undergoes multiple firings to achieve that characteristic glossy finish and durability. The hardy construction means these dishes can withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashers, hot food service, and constant handling—making them perfect for busy kitchens where residential tableware would quickly chip and fade. With proper care, these versatile pieces maintain their distinctive look for years!

Top Tips for Using Olympia Enamel Tableware

For best results with your Olympia Enamel, avoid metal utensils that might scratch the surface—wooden or silicone tools work a treat instead.
