Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salted Pig, a bustling charcuterie and wine bar in Chester, needed to replace its tired and frequently chipped tableware. They wanted something that matched their rustic-industrial interior and could withstand a demanding, fast-paced service seven days a week.
"The Olympia denim bowls were a fantastic find. Our sharing plates and main salads look stunning in them, and customers constantly comment on how lovely they are. Best of all, we haven't had a single chip since we brought them in three months ago. They're tough as nails but look incredible."
David Chen – Head Chef at The Salted Pig
The upgrade led to a 100% reduction in tableware replacement costs in the first quarter and a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and packing.
- Designate a clear, easy-to-access shelf space for them, ensuring they can be stacked safely without risk of falling.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully dishwasher safe, so use a standard cycle for efficient cleaning.
- When stacking, avoid clashing the rims together. Place them down gently to maximise their lifespan, even with the edge-chip warranty.
- Regularly check the unglazed foot at the base and give it a wipe to ensure it remains clean and grippy.
- Although extremely durable, avoid using harsh metal scourers which could potentially scratch the embossed surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls completely blue?
A: Yes, these bowls feature a beautiful denim blue colour across the entire surface, with a unique textured finish. They are part of a range that also includes a white version for mixing and matching.
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: A coupe bowl has a simple, sleek profile with no rim. This creates a modern look and provides an uninterrupted surface area for plating your food.
Q: Can I use these bowls in the microwave?
A: Yes, as fully vitrified porcelain, these bowls are microwave safe, making them versatile for reheating certain components or dishes.
Q: How well do they stack?
A: They are specifically designed to be stackable, allowing for neat, stable, and space-efficient storage on your kitchen shelves.
Q: Is the textured surface difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The glaze is smooth enough that food doesn't get trapped, and they are fully commercial dishwasher safe for easy and hygienic cleaning.
Q: What is an 'unglazed foot'?
A: The circular ring on the very bottom of the bowl is left unglazed. This creates a slightly rougher surface that provides better grip on tables and trays, helping to prevent slips.
Q: Are these suitable for serving very hot soups?
A: Absolutely. Vitrified porcelain has excellent thermal resistance, making these bowls perfect for serving everything from piping hot soups to chilled desserts.
Q: Is the 'Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty' really for life?
A: Yes, it covers chipping on the rim of the bowl for the entire life of the product under normal food service use, which speaks volumes about its quality and durability.
The Olympia Promise: Style That Lasts
Choosing Olympia tableware is about more than just buying a bowl; it's an investment in consistency and reliability.

The combination of the BS4035 Vitrified Hotelware Standard and the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty isn't just a technical detail—it's your assurance against the daily knocks and stresses of a busy service.

It allows you to focus on what truly matters: creating incredible food, served on tableware that reliably looks its best day in, day out.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Tableware?
You'll see the term 'vitrified porcelain' mentioned a lot with professional tableware, but what is it? Think of it as porcelain that's been given superhero training. During manufacturing, the bowl is fired at an extremely high temperature (over 1200°C), causing the clay body to become 'vitrified'. This essentially means it turns glass-like, making it completely non-porous. So, unlike standard ceramic, it won't absorb water, oils, or odours, which prevents staining and bacteria growth. This process is what makes these bowls incredibly strong, resistant to thermal shock (going from hot to cold), and gives them the durability to survive in a commercial kitchen.
