Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Meadowsweet Inn, a cosy gastropub in the heart of the Cotswolds, recently revamped their menu to focus on seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients. They needed new tableware that would reflect this rustic, quality-driven ethos and make their new dishes shine.
"The moment we unboxed these bowls, we knew we'd made the right choice. The colour is just fantastic and makes our food pop, especially our heritage tomato salad. Customers are constantly commenting on them and taking pictures for social media. They just feel special."
Robert Finch – Head Chef
Since introducing the bowls, the Inn has noted a significant increase in positive online reviews mentioning their food presentation, helping to attract a new wave of discerning foodies.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent before their first use.
- The unglazed foot provides grip, so ensure it's clean and dry before placing on tables.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully commercial dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To prevent chipping, avoid knocking the edges and stack carefully with protectors if possible.
- While oven-safe, avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a fridge directly into a hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks and remove any damaged items from service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls safe for a commercial dishwasher?

Q: Can I use the Olympia FA326 bowl in the oven?
A: Yes, they are oven-proof, making them great for dishes that need to be finished or kept warm in the oven before serving.
Q: Are they microwave-safe?
A: Yes, you can safely use these bowls in the microwave for reheating.
Q: What does 'reactive glaze' mean?
A: It's a special type of glaze that creates a unique pattern and colour on each piece during the firing process, so no two bowls are identical.
Q: Will all six bowls in the box look exactly the same?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! Due to the reactive glaze, each 200mm green ceramic bowl will have slight, unique variations in its finish.
Q: Are these bowls easy to store?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable, helping you save valuable shelf space in your kitchen.
Q: What is the capacity of one bowl?
A: Each bowl has a capacity of 250ml (or 8¾oz), which is perfect for starters, desserts, or side dishes.
Q: Is the bottom of the bowl glazed?
A: No, the foot of the bowl is unglazed. This provides better grip on the tabletop and prevents it from sliding.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered what makes each of these bowls unique? It’s all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it like a special recipe that behaves differently every time it's cooked. During firing in the kiln, the minerals and chemicals in this special glaze react to the intense heat, creating unique patterns, colours, and textures. No two bowls will ever come out looking exactly the same.
For your business, this means you're not just buying a set of bowls; you're getting a collection of individual pieces of art. It tells a story of craftsmanship and authenticity that mass-produced, uniform crockery simply can't match. It makes your customers feel like the dish they've been served is truly one-of-a-kind, just for them.
