- Standout Looks: The unique glaze makes food look incredible in photos and on the table.
- A Note on Consistency: The unique finish means no two plates are identical, so expect slight variations.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Star & Garter, a bustling gastropub in York, recently revamped their menu to focus on high-quality, locally-sourced ingredients. They needed tableware that reflected this shift from standard pub fare to a more refined dining experience, and chose the Olympia Canvas collection.
"The moment we unboxed these plates, we knew we'd made the right choice. Our food just looks more vibrant. Customers constantly comment on them, and they photograph brilliantly. It’s that small detail that makes the whole dish feel more special."
Robert Green – Head Chef
Since introducing the new plates, the pub has noted a significant increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the plates a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and shipping.
- Ensure you have adequate and safe shelf space for stacking; the unglazed foot helps prevent slipping but level shelving is key.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, avoid overcrowding the racks to prevent plates from knocking against each other.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), like taking a hot plate from the oven and placing it on a cold, wet surface.
- Stack the plates carefully, ensuring they are aligned to prevent chipping the edges.
- Although tough, avoid using metal scourers; a simple rinse and a dishwasher cycle is usually all that’s needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the plates really all different?
A: Yes. The reactive glaze process means each plate will have slight, unique variations in its pattern and finish, which is a key feature of the design.
Q: How many plates are in a pack?
A: These are sold in a box of 6 plates.
Q: What is a 180mm (7") plate typically used for?
A: It's the perfect size for starters, side dishes, desserts, or small plates in a tapas-style service.
Q: What does 'unglazed foot' mean?
A: The circular ring on the base of the plate is left unglazed. This provides a slightly rougher surface that helps prevent the plate from sliding on tables or trays.
Q: Is stoneware strong enough for a busy restaurant?
A: Absolutely. This is fully vitrified stoneware, which has been fired at high temperatures to make it non-porous, strong, and durable enough for commercial use.
Q: Can these go straight from the oven to the table?
A: Yes, they are oven-proof. However, always place hot dishes on a heat-proof mat, not directly onto a cold table, to avoid thermal shock.
Q: Is the embossed finish hard to clean?
A: Not at all. The embossed rings are subtle and fully sealed by the glaze, making them completely dishwasher safe and easy to clean.
Q: Will the colour fade after many washes?
A: No, the colour is part of the glaze itself, not printed on. It's bonded to the plate and designed to withstand thousands of commercial dishwasher cycles.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Magic of a Reactive Glaze: Why Every Plate is Unique
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s not just a fancy pattern printed on top. During the firing process in the kiln, special minerals in the glaze react to the intense heat, creating unique and unpredictable patterns, colours, and textures. This chemical reaction ensures that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of oak or the veining in marble. You're not just getting a plate; you're getting a one-of-a-kind piece of ceramic art. This is what gives the small rim canvas plate 180mm its distinctive, rustic charm and makes it feel so much more premium than standard, uniform crockery. It's an easy way to bring an authentic, handcrafted feel to your tables.
