- Our Take: The reactive glaze means every bowl is subtly unique, adding incredible character.
- A Point to Note: Due to the glaze, expect slight colour variations between pieces, which adds charm.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Fig Bistro in Whitby needed to refresh their tableware to better reflect their coastal, rustic menu. Their old white plates felt clinical and didn't match the warm, inviting atmosphere they'd carefully cultivated.
"These bowls were exactly what we were looking for. The green is stunning and the rustic feel makes our seafood chowder look even better. Our customers constantly comment on them, and they’ve proven incredibly durable through hundreds of wash cycles."
Robert Davies – Owner
The bistro reported a noticeable uplift in positive online reviews mentioning their food presentation within three months of the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give the bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- When stacking, be mindful of the waved edges to ensure stability and prevent pressure points.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully commercial dishwasher safe, making cleanup simple and efficient.
- To maintain the beautiful glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or highly abrasive cleaning agents.
- While very durable, avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven directly into cold water).
- Remember, they're covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for added confidence during daily service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly durable, and resistant to moisture, cracking, and chipping. It's the gold standard for professional tableware.
Q: Are these bowls heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that speaks to their quality, but are not unmanageably heavy for service staff. The entire box of 6 weighs 4.51kg.
Q: Is the colour exactly the same on every bowl?
A: No, and that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze process creates slight variations in colour and pattern, making each piece unique and giving them a hand-crafted look.
Q: What is the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty?
A: This is Olympia's promise that they will replace any item if the edge chips during normal food service use, showcasing their confidence in the product's durability.
Q: Are the Chia deep bowls 210mm stackable?
A: Yes, they can be stacked. Due to the waved edge, you should stack them carefully in manageable piles to ensure they are stable.
Q: Can I use these bowls in a heated plate warmer?
A: Yes, being fully vitrified and microwave safe, they are perfectly suitable for use in a commercial plate warmer.
Q: What does BS4034 certified mean?
A: This is a British Standard that specifies performance requirements for vitrified hotelware, ensuring it's fit for purpose in a demanding hospitality environment.
Q: Are other colours available in this range?
A: Yes, the Olympia Chia collection is also available in sand and charcoal colourways to suit different interior themes.
The Olympia Promise: Style Meets Stamina for the British Kitchen
Choosing Olympia tableware is about more than just picking a colour or shape; it's an investment in reliability. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in UK hospitality, known for striking the perfect balance between contemporary design trends and the non-negotiable need for durability. The Chia range is a perfect example of this philosophy. While the reactive glaze and rustic form are visually stunning, the underlying vitrified porcelain and BS4034 certification are what truly matter to a busy operator. This isn't just crockery; it's a workhorse designed to endure countless cycles through the dishwasher and the knocks of a fast-paced service, all while looking fantastic. This commitment to long-term performance means fewer replacements, consistent presentation, and the confidence that your tableware is one less thing to worry about.
Explore more from OlympiaThe Beauty of a Reactive Glaze: Why No Two Bowls Are the Same
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s a special finishing process that makes pieces like these Olympia DR802 green serving bowls so unique. During firing in the kiln, different minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat, creating beautiful, one-of-a-kind patterns, drips, and subtle colour variations.
Think of it like the unique pattern of wood grain or the way a sea wave leaves a different mark on the sand each time. It's not a flaw; it's a feature. This process ensures that while your bowls are all from the same family, each has its own individual character. It’s what gives them that authentic, hand-crafted feel, moving away from a mass-produced look and adding a layer of artistry to your tabletop that customers will notice and appreciate.
