Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grove Kitchen in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their new, locally-sourced seasonal menu. They needed something that felt premium but could withstand a fully-booked service, day in and day out.
"We wanted plates that felt special but could handle the pace of a Saturday night. The Olympia plates are beautiful and incredibly tough. Our food just sings on that deep blue background. Customers have even been asking where we got them!"
David Evans – Head Chef
The new tableware contributed to a 15% increase in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unbox your new plates carefully and give them a quick inspection.
- Run them through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher before first use to ensure they're pristine.
- Ensure your storage shelves are clean, dry, and stable to prevent accidents.
- Stack them neatly. The unglazed foot provides grip, helping to create a more stable stack.
Keeping It Going
- Scrape off any large food scraps before loading them into the dishwasher.
- Use a quality, non-abrasive commercial detergent to protect the glaze and finish.
- Avoid using harsh steel wool or abrasive scourers which can cause micro-scratches over time.
- Handle with care, but work confidently knowing the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty has you covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: It refers to the modern, rimless design of the plate. This gives you a larger, uninterrupted flat surface area, which is great for creative food presentation.
Q: Are these plates microwave safe?
A: Yes, being made of vitrified porcelain, they are designed to withstand the heat of commercial microwaves and plate warmers without issue.
Q: Is the textured surface difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The glaze is smooth and completely non-porous, meaning food doesn't get trapped. They are fully dishwasher safe and wipe clean easily.
Q: What is the benefit of an unglazed foot on a plate?
A: The unglazed base provides a slightly rougher surface that creates friction, preventing the plates from sliding around on tables or service trays.
Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty actually cover?
A: It covers chipping that occurs on the rim (edge) of the plate during normal food service, preparation, and washing, offering a replacement for qualifying chips.
Q: How many plates are in a single pack?
A: These Olympia FU221 plates are sold in a box of 6, which is ideal for small top-ups or kitting out new tables.
Q: Will the blue colour fade over time?
A: No, the colour is an integral part of the durable glaze itself. It is fired on at high temperatures and will not fade, peel, or wash off.
Q: What does the BS4035 Vitrified Hotelware Standard mean?
A: It's a British industry standard that certifies the crockery has very low water absorption. This makes it exceptionally strong, hygienic, and suitable for professional use.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just a Pretty Plate: What 'Vitrified' Means for Your Business
You'll see the term 'vitrified' on a lot of high-quality crockery, but what does it actually mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature. This fuses all the tiny particles together, transforming it from a porous material into a super-dense, glass-like one.
Think of it like this: a regular ceramic plate is a bit like a sponge, it can absorb tiny amounts of water, grease, and odours over time. Vitrified porcelain, on the other hand, is like a solid piece of glass. It's completely non-porous. For your business, this means your plates stay more hygienic, won't stain, and are far more resistant to the thermal shock of a hot dishwasher, significantly reducing the chance of cracks and crazing.
