The Olympia Canvas range is a real gem. It hits that sweet spot between rustic charm and modern sophistication. The verdigris finish has this incredible depth that photographs beautifully, and the weight feels substantial and high-quality in the hand. It's the kind of plate that tells customers you care about the details, right down to the crockery.

- Pros: The reactive glaze gives each plate a genuinely unique, high-end character.
- Cons: The beautiful matte finish may show cutlery marks more than a gloss plate.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Truffle, a popular upscale eatery in Harrogate, wanted to refresh their table presentation to match a new, ambitious seasonal menu. They chose the Olympia Canvas plates to add a touch of rustic elegance.
"We were looking for something that felt special, not just another white plate. The Olympia Canvas plates are stunning. Our customers constantly comment on them, and they make our dishes look even more appealing on social media."
Daniel Evans – Head Chef
Since introducing the plates, the restaurant has seen its social media engagement on food pictures increase by over 30%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give them a quick wash in warm, soapy water before their first use to remove any dust from packing.
- When stacking, the unglazed foot provides a stable base, preventing slipping and protecting the glazed surface below.
- Take a moment to check each plate on arrival – you'll notice the lovely, subtle differences that make each one unique.
Keeping It Going
- While fully dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive detergents or scourers to keep the matte glaze looking its best.
- To help minimise cutlery marks, it's best to use high-quality 18/10 stainless steel cutlery.
- If light marks do appear, a gentle rub with a non-abrasive cream cleaner can often lift them.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (e.g., straight from a hot oven into cold water) to prevent thermal shock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates completely flat?
A: They are a 'coupe' style plate, which means they have a very gentle, gradual curve up to the edge with a wide, flat base perfect for plating.
Q: What exactly is the 'verdigris' colour?
A: It's a rich, deep green with subtle blue undertones, designed to mimic the beautiful natural patina that forms on aged copper or bronze.
Q: Will the colour fade after many washes in a commercial dishwasher?
A: No, the high-temperature firing process fuses the glaze to the stoneware body, making it exceptionally durable and resistant to fading from commercial dishwashing.
Q: Is every single plate identical?
A: No, and that's the best part! The reactive glaze ensures that each piece has its own unique pattern and subtle variations in colour, making your collection truly one-of-a-kind.
Q: How many plates come in one box?
A: These Olympia FA322 plates are sold in a box containing 6 individual plates.
Q: Can I use these plates in a hot holding cabinet?
A: Yes, absolutely. As they are oven-proof, they can easily handle the typical temperatures of a hot holding unit without any issues.
Q: What is the purpose of the 'unglazed foot' on the bottom?
A: The base of the plate is left unglazed to create a slightly coarser texture. This provides excellent grip and prevents the plates from slipping on trays or when stacked.
Q: Is stoneware very heavy to carry?
A: It has a satisfying, robust weight that communicates quality to the diner, but is perfectly manageable for service staff during a busy shift.
The Olympia Canvas Advantage: More Than Just a Plate
Choosing Olympia's Canvas collection is an investment in your restaurant's identity. Beyond the striking green verdigris finish and durable stoneware build, these plates offer a story of British craftsmanship. Made by artisans in the heart of the UK, each piece carries a unique character that mass-produced tableware simply cannot replicate. This 'perfectly imperfect' quality elevates the dining experience, subtly communicating a commitment to authenticity and detail. For a busy commercial environment, this means not only getting a plate that withstands the rigours of daily service but also one that enhances your brand, makes your food more memorable, and becomes a talking point for customers. It's a long-term choice for building an atmosphere that feels curated, considered, and consistently impressive.
Explore more from OlympiaThe Art of the Plate: What is a Reactive Glaze?
Ever wondered what makes each of these plates unique? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. This isn't your standard, uniform coating. Instead, it's a special glaze mixed with various minerals that 'react' to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This chemical reaction creates subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in colour, texture, and pattern on every single plate.
Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of wood or the veining in marble – no two are ever identical. It’s this process that gives the Olympia Canvas collection its artisan character. You get a perfectly coordinated set where each piece still has its own individual personality. It’s a simple way to bring a touch of handcrafted authenticity to your tables.
