Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Kitchen in Falmouth, Cornwall, decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their fresh, sea-to-table menu. They needed something that was both beautiful and tough enough to handle hundreds of covers a week.
"We chose these denim blue porcelain coupe bowls because the colour and texture perfectly complement our coastal setting and rustic dishes. Our food just looks better in them, and our customers have noticed. They feel substantial and high-quality, which reflects well on our entire brand."
David Chen – Proprietor
The restaurant reported that the new tableware contributed to a notable uplift in their social media engagement, with more customers photographing and sharing their meals.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, 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 with detergent before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing and packaging.
- Ensure you have adequate, stable shelving for storage. The unglazed foot on these bowls helps with secure stacking.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock, avoid transferring the bowls directly from a hot oven or dishwasher to a cold surface or vice versa.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure bowls aren't knocking against each other to minimise the risk of impact damage.
- The vitrified glaze is highly resistant to staining and cutlery marks, but cleaning them promptly after use is always best practice.
- Stack them carefully, aligning them to make the most of the space-saving design and non-slip foot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls safe for use in a microwave?
A: Yes, being fully vitrified, these porcelain bowls are durable enough to be used in microwaves for reheating.
Q: What exactly is a 'coupe' bowl?
A: A coupe-style bowl has a shallow, rimless design with gently sloped sides, offering a modern and versatile profile for plating a wide variety of dishes.
Q: Is the colour likely to fade after many washes?
A: No. The colour is sealed under a durable glaze and the vitrification process ensures it remains vibrant, even with frequent commercial dishwashing.
Q: What is the 'unglazed foot' for?
A: The foot (the ring on the bottom of the bowl) is left unglazed to create a slightly rougher surface, which provides grip and prevents stacked bowls from sliding around.
Q: How resistant are they to scratches from knives and forks?
A: Very resistant. The hard, vitrified glaze is designed to stand up to daily use with standard metal cutlery without showing significant scratching.
Q: Can I buy these Olympia FU224 coupe bowls as singles?
A: This particular product, SKU FU224, is sold as a convenient pack of 6 bowls.
Q: Does the textured surface trap food or make cleaning difficult?
A: Not at all. While textured, the surface is still fully sealed with a smooth glaze, ensuring it's non-porous and just as easy to clean as standard smooth bowls.
Q: What does conforming to BS4035 mean?
A: It means the bowls have been independently tested and certified to meet the British Hotelware Standard for durability, including resistance to water absorption and thermal shock, ensuring they are fit for professional use.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Vitrified' Crockery is a Smarter Choice
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? It's not just a fancy word. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes glass-like and non-porous. Think of it like turning a dry sponge into a solid, sealed pebble. Because it’s no longer porous, the bowl won't absorb water, oils, or food particles. This is crucial in a commercial kitchen as it makes the bowls far more hygienic, resistant to stains, and prevents them from harbouring old flavours or odours. It's this process that gives them their incredible strength and longevity.
