- Artisan Variation: Don't expect perfect uniformity; colour and pattern vary between batches.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Fig, a popular eatery in Brighton, wanted to refresh their tableware to complement a new, locally-sourced menu that focused on vibrant, fresh ingredients. They needed something that felt authentic and moved away from standard white plates.
"We were looking for plates that didn't feel mass-produced. The Olympia Canvas plates have this incredible, earthy feel that mirrors our food philosophy. Our starters look like works of art on them now, and the quality is outstanding."
Robert Green – Head Chef, The Salted Fig
After the switch, the restaurant noted a significant increase in social media shares of their dishes, with customers frequently commenting on the beautiful presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust.
- The 180mm size is perfect for standard plate racks and service stations.
- The unglazed foot provides excellent stability when stacking, but we recommend not stacking more than 12 high to be safe.
Keeping Them Perfect
- These plates are fully vitrified and designed for the rigours of a commercial dishwasher.
- To protect the beautiful matte finish, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
- While oven and microwave safe, try to avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., from a freezer to a hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.
- The stoneware is incredibly tough, but like all ceramics, try to avoid hard impacts against other items or surfaces to prevent chipping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates sold individually?
A: They are supplied in a pack of six, which is ideal for kitting out your service efficiently.
Q: What exactly is 'reactive glaze'?
A: It's a special glazing process where minerals react to the heat in the kiln, which gives every single plate its own subtly unique pattern and colour variation.
Q: Is the Olympia FA323 green plate heavy?
A: As it's crafted from high-quality stoneware, it has a reassuring weight that communicates quality to the customer, without being too heavy for serving staff.
Q: Can I use standard metal cutlery on these plates?
A: Absolutely. They are fully vitrified and designed for professional restaurant use with standard cutlery. The strong glaze is highly resistant to marks and scratches.
Q: What is the benefit of the unglazed foot?
A: The unglazed, slightly textured base provides more grip, which helps prevent the plate from slipping on tables or when stacked with other plates.
Q: Will the green colour be identical on every plate?
A: Due to the reactive glaze finish, there will be beautiful, subtle variations in the green verdigris tones from one plate to the next. This is a deliberate feature that adds to their artisan charm.
Q: How big is a 180mm plate in inches?
A: It's approximately 7 inches in diameter, making it a classic size for a side plate, appetiser, or small dessert.
Q: Are they suitable for keeping warm under a hot pass?
A: Yes, being oven-safe, they can comfortably handle the heat of a professional kitchen's hot pass, keeping food warm and ready for service.
The Olympia Canvas Advantage: Artistry Meets Durability
Choosing Olympia Canvas is about more than just buying a plate; it's an investment in your establishment's story and aesthetic. In an age where customers eat with their eyes first and share their experiences online, this tableware provides an immediate visual upgrade. The 'Made in the UK' artisan origin resonates powerfully with the trend towards provenance and authenticity. Beyond the beautiful finish, the commercial-grade stoneware construction ensures these plates are workhorses, not just showpieces. This durability translates to a lower replacement rate and fewer chips compared to standard crockery, delivering real long-term value and reducing overheads. Ultimately, the Olympia Canvas range bridges the gap between everyday functionality and memorable design, allowing you to serve dishes that create a lasting, premium impression from the moment they arrive at the table.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two plates in this collection are identical? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it less as a simple paint and more as a scientific art form. During the firing process in the kiln, a special blend of minerals within the glaze reacts to the intense heat in a unique and unpredictable way.
It’s a bit like a firework – you know the basic colour it will be, but the exact pattern and burst is a one-of-a-kind event every single time. This is what gives each stoneware green presentation plate its own individual character, with subtle shifts in tone and pattern. For your business, this means you're not just buying plates; you're getting a collection of coordinated, yet individual, pieces that give your tables a handcrafted, artisan feel that simply can't be replicated with standard crockery.
Who Should Buy This?
