- Standout Looks: The reactive glaze ensures no two bowls are identical, adding authentic charm.
- Glaze Variation: This uniqueness might not suit businesses requiring absolute military-style uniformity.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Spoon, a contemporary bistro in Bath, was looking to refresh their tableware to better reflect their modern, locally-sourced menu. They chose the Olympia Corallite blue bowls to replace their plain white crockery.
"Our food is all about colour and texture, and these bowls are the perfect frame for it. They make everything look more vibrant and appetising. The durability is a huge plus, too; they've been through hundreds of services and still look brand new. Our customers constantly comment on them."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The bistro noted a significant increase in social media shares of their dishes, directly attributing the improved aesthetics to the new Corallite blue commercial bowls.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with a suitable detergent before their first use.
- Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent watermarks or bacteria growth.
Keeping Them Perfect
- When stacking, avoid clattering them together. Place them carefully to protect the rims and glaze.
- Although dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive detergents or scouring pads which can dull the glaze over time.
- For stubborn food stains, soak in a solution of warm water and professional de-staining powder.
- The Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty gives peace of mind, but careful handling will keep them looking their best for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is every bowl in the pack identical?
A: No. Due to the reactive glaze used to create the beautiful finish, each bowl has a slightly unique pattern and colour depth, which is a key feature of the Corallite range.
Q: What does 'Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty' actually cover?
A: It covers chipping on the rim of the bowl during normal food service use. It's a testament to the product's durability and professional-grade construction.
Q: Are these bowls heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that speaks to their quality, but they are not overly heavy for staff to carry. The box of 12 has a total weight of 2.37kg.
Q: Can I use these bowls for hot soup?
A: Absolutely. Being fully vitrified and oven-safe, they have excellent heat retention properties, making them perfect for serving hot soups, stews, and sauces.
Q: Do they stack neatly?
A: Yes, these 105mm deep serving bowls are designed to be stackable for efficient and safe storage in a commercial kitchen environment.
Q: Will the colour fade after many dishwasher cycles?
A: The colour is fired into the glaze, making it extremely durable. With proper care and non-abrasive detergents, the vibrant blue will last for the lifetime of the bowl.
Q: What does BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard mean?
A: It is a British standard that specifies requirements for the performance of vitrified hotelware. It means the product has passed tests for water absorption, crazing resistance, and impact resistance.
Q: What sort of dishes are these best for?
A: Their 105mm size makes them incredibly versatile for appetisers, dips, olives, side salads, desserts, or small tapas-style plates.
The Olympia Standard: Style That Lasts in a Professional Kitchen
Choosing Olympia isn't just about buying a piece of crockery; it's an investment in a brand trusted by hospitality professionals across the UK. For years, Olympia has mastered the art of balancing contemporary design with the non-negotiable demands of a commercial kitchen. The Corallite range is a perfect example of this philosophy. While the reactive glaze and fossil-inspired texture deliver a visual 'wow' factor that elevates your food, the real value lies beneath the surface. The fully vitrified body, adherence to the strict BS4034 standard, and the confidence of a Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty mean fewer replacements, consistent presentation, and reduced long-term costs. This is tableware designed not just to look good on day one, but to withstand the rigours of thousands of services, maintaining its integrity and helping you consistently delight your customers.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy a 'Fully Vitrified' Body Matters for Your Kitchen
You see 'fully vitrified porcelain' mentioned a lot, but what does it actually mean for you? Think of standard ceramic like a dense sponge – it has tiny pores that can absorb water, grease, and bacteria over time. Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the body essentially fuses together, like turning sand into glass. This closes all those tiny pores.
The result is a material that is non-porous, incredibly strong, and far more hygienic. It won't absorb moisture or odours, it's much more resistant to chipping and cracking from knocks, and it stands up to the thermal shock of going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf. In short, it’s the science behind why these beautiful restaurant crockery corallite bowls are tough enough for the pros.
Who Should Buy This?
- Trendy Bistros & Gastropubs: Perfect for serving stylish appetisers, creative sides, or delectable desserts that demand attention.
