- Standout Looks: The unique glaze on each plate makes your food presentation instantly memorable.
- Perfectly Imperfect: The organic finish means you won't get military-grade uniformity between plates.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Meadowsweet Bistro in Harrogate decided to overhaul its tableware to better reflect its new, modern British menu. They needed something that felt premium and unique but could withstand constant use and washing.
"Our food is all about natural ingredients and beautiful presentation. These plates just get it. They frame the dishes wonderfully and we get so many compliments from customers. They feel special, and that's exactly the impression we want to make."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
The switch to the new plates contributed to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the 'beautiful presentation' in their first two months of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give all plates a good wash with a non-abrasive detergent before their first use.
- When unboxing, check each plate carefully to ensure it's arrived in perfect condition.
- Stack carefully in your storage area; using plate protectors between them can help preserve the glaze.
- Store them somewhere dry and easy for your team to access during a busy service.
Keeping Them Perfect
- Load them into your dishwasher so they aren't knocking against other crockery or metal items.
- Stick to professional, non-abrasive detergents to keep that beautiful finish looking its best.
- While they are microwave safe, try to avoid extreme temperature shocks (e.g., from a fridge straight into a very hot oven).
- Remember, the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty has you covered for any accidental chipping in normal use!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'fully vitrified porcelain' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature, making it non-porous. This makes it much stronger, more resistant to chipping, and stops it from absorbing moisture or odours.
Q: Will all the plates I order look identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze process ensures that each of the commercial green plates 205mm has a slightly unique pattern and colour variation, giving them an authentic, handcrafted feel.
Q: What exactly does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?
A: It's Olympia's guarantee to replace any plate that chips on its edge during normal food service use, for the entire life of the plate. It's a testament to their durability.
Q: Are they suitable for a high-turnover commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed and tested to withstand the rigours of repeated washing in commercial dishwashers.
Q: What kind of dishes are these 205mm plates best for?
A: They are incredibly versatile. They're perfect for serving starters, side dishes, desserts, or small main courses and light lunches in a café or bistro setting.
Q: Is the green a flat, solid colour?
A: No, it's a rich, multi-tonal green with subtle variations from the reactive glaze, giving it a much more natural and organic appearance than a solid block colour.
Q: How many plates come in one pack?
A: These Olympia sustainable plates are supplied in a convenient box of 6.
Q: Are the plates heavy to carry?
A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality, but they are ergonomically designed for service and are not uncomfortably heavy for waiting staff.
The Olympia Promise: Style Meets Stamina
Choosing Olympia is about more than just picking a plate; it's an investment in reliability. For years, the brand has mastered the art of balancing on-trend aesthetics with the brute-force resilience required in a professional kitchen. These green Chia plates are a perfect example.

This isn't disposable fashion for your tables; it's robust, long-lasting equipment designed to reduce your long-term replacement costs. By choosing a product backed by a lifetime edge-chip warranty, you're not just buying tableware, you're buying peace of mind and a consistent, high-quality experience for your guests, service after service.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why some pottery has that beautiful, almost random pattern that you can't find anywhere else? That's often down to a 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform colour that's simply painted on, a reactive glaze contains special minerals that, well, react to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This process creates unique patterns, swirls, and subtle colour variations across the surface.
Think of it like a natural tie-dye process for ceramics. Because the heat and mineral distribution is never 100% identical from one spot to the next, no two plates will ever have the exact same finish. This is fantastic for businesses wanting to move away from a mass-produced look, as it gives your entire collection of sustainable dinner plates green a genuinely bespoke, handcrafted feel that tells a story.
