- Top-Tier Aesthetics: The glaze is beautiful, making food look incredible.
- Stacking Quirks: The unique rims mean they don't stack as tightly as standard bowls.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Willow Creek Bistro in York wanted to refresh its tabletop presentation, moving away from standard white plates to something with more warmth and personality that could withstand a busy service. They chose the Olympia Chia Sand collection for its looks and durability.
"Our customers constantly comment on the new bowls. They have a lovely, high-quality feel and they really make our dishes stand out on social media. Best of all, we haven't had a single chip in six months of constant use."
David Chen – Head Chef
The switch resulted in a 100% reduction in crockery replacement costs in the first six months, thanks to the robust build and edge-chip warranty.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Run the bowls through a hot cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- When stacking, be mindful of the unique uneven edges; avoid forcing them into tight spaces.
- Make a note of your purchase date to easily claim on the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty if you ever need to.
Keeping It Going
- Load bowls into dishwasher racks carefully, ensuring they don't knock against other items during the wash cycle.
- Use a quality commercial detergent to keep the glaze looking its best and prevent clouding.
- For any stubborn food residue, soak in warm, soapy water rather than using abrasive metal scourers.
- While very durable, always handle with care and avoid dropping the bowls onto hard flooring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls sold individually or in a set?
A: These Olympia CX956 coupe bowls are sold in a convenient pack of 4, making it easy to stock your restaurant or cafe.
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' actually mean?
A: It's a high-temperature firing process that makes the porcelain non-porous, extremely durable, and resistant to moisture and thermal shock. It's the gold standard for commercial tableware.
Q: Will the colour be exactly the same on every bowl?
A: Due to the reactive glaze finish, there will be subtle, unique variations in pattern and colour on each bowl. This is an intentional feature that gives them their handcrafted appeal.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It is Olympia's guarantee to replace the item if the edge chips during normal food service use, showcasing their confidence in the product's durability.
Q: Can I use these for serving hot soup?
A: Yes, absolutely. The vitrified porcelain is designed to handle hot liquids and is also microwave safe for reheating.
Q: What types of dishes are best for a coupe bowl?
A: Their sloped, rimless design makes them perfect for any dish with a sauce, such as pasta, curries, and stews, as well as being great for salads and desserts.
Q: What is the BS4034 certification for?
A: This is a British Standard that confirms the crockery has the necessary strength and durability for use in demanding hospitality environments like hotels and restaurants.
Q: How heavy is an individual bowl?
A: With the pack of 4 weighing 2.57kg, each bowl is approximately 640g. This gives it a reassuring, quality weight without being too heavy for service staff.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered how some pottery gets that beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind finish? The secret is often a reactive glaze. Think of it less like a coat of paint and more like a science experiment in the kiln. During firing, different minerals in the glaze recipe react to the intense heat, flowing and melting together to create distinct patterns and subtle shifts in colour. This means that while every bowl from the Olympia Chia Sand range shares the same colour palette and quality, no two are ever absolutely identical. It's how you get that authentic, handcrafted feel on a piece of crockery that's tough enough for a commercial kitchen.
