Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Star & Garter, a gastropub in York, wanted to refresh their tabletop to better reflect their new, locally-sourced menu. They replaced their plain white crockery with the Olympia Canvas plates to add more character.
“The moment we started using these plates, the feedback was instant. Our food just looks better. The rustic, unique finish on each plate really complements our dishes and we've seen a noticeable uptick in guests sharing photos of their meals online.”
Robert Green – Head Chef
The switch contributed to a significant increase in social media engagement, with customers frequently complimenting the overall presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- The unglazed foot provides grip, so ensure the surface you're placing it on is clean.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, stack carefully to avoid knocking the edges against other items.
- This stoneware is tough, but avoid extreme temperature shocks, like taking a plate from a freezer directly into a hot oven.
- The stackable design is great for storage, but don't stack them too high to prevent instability and potential chipping.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks; damaged crockery should be retired from service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates all identical?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! The reactive glaze process ensures that each plate has a unique, subtle pattern, giving you a truly artisanal set.
Q: How durable is the stoneware?
A: It's designed for commercial use. The high-temperature firing process makes it very strong, durable, and resistant to chipping in a busy kitchen environment.
Q: Can I use these plates in a commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. They are fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
Q: What does the 'unglazed foot' do?
A: The base of the plate is left unglazed to create a slightly rougher texture. This provides more grip and helps prevent the plate from sliding on trays or tables.
Q: Are they safe to use in the microwave or oven?
A: Yes, they are safe for use in both microwaves for reheating and ovens for finishing or keeping dishes warm.
Q: What is the exact size?
A: This round porcelain dinner plate has a diameter of 250mm, which is approximately 10 inches, a popular size for main courses.
Q: Is the glaze food safe?
A: Yes, all glazes used on Olympia commercial tableware are completely food safe and lead-free.
Q: The title says 'porcelain' but the material is 'stoneware'. What's the difference?
A: The term 'porcelain' is often used to describe high-quality, white dinnerware. Technically, this plate is made from stoneware, a very strong and durable type of ceramic that is fired at high temperatures, giving it a porcelain-like strength and finish.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Art of Reactive Glaze: Why Every Plate is Unique
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's less of a technical process and more of a touch of pottery magic. Unlike a standard, uniform coating, a reactive glaze contains a special blend of minerals that, well, react to the intense heat inside the kiln. As the plate is fired, these minerals swirl and settle in their own way.
Think of it like a snowflake – the basic structure is there, but the final pattern is always a complete one-off. This is why no two Olympia Canvas plates are identical. It’s not a defect; it’s the signature of true artisan craftsmanship, giving you a set of plates that feel hand-picked and special, rather than churned out from a factory line.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fine Dining Restaurants: Perfect for plating signature dishes where presentation is just as important as the food itself.
- Boutique Hotels: To provide a premium, rustic-chic experience for in-room dining or on-site restaurant guests.
- Artisan Cafés & Bistros: Adds a touch of class and individuality to daily specials, cakes, and brunch dishes.
- Prestige Event Caterers: Creates an unforgettable, high-end table setting that clients and their guests will adore.
