- Handle with Care: The beautiful finish can show cutlery marks more than plain white porcelain.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular gastropub in Shrewsbury, was looking to upgrade its mismatched tableware to something that reflected its high-quality, locally-sourced menu. They needed crockery that was both stylish and tough enough to handle hundreds of covers a week.
"These Olympia Drift Grey coupe low bowls 260mm have been brilliant. They make our food pop and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are. The presentation is just so much more professional now, and they've been through the dishwasher countless times without a single chip."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
The upgrade directly contributed to enhancing the gastropub's premium feel, with a notable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the overall dining atmosphere.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the bowls a thorough wash in warm, soapy water to remove any dust from transit.
- Carefully inspect each bowl upon arrival to ensure they're perfect.
- When stacking, the unglazed foot sits securely on the glazed surface of the bowl below, helping prevent sliding.
- Plan your storage to ensure easy access during busy service periods.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully dishwasher safe, so use a commercial dishwasher for the most efficient and hygienic cleaning.
- To avoid cutlery marks, encourage staff to avoid excessive scraping with metal utensils.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (like taking a bowl from a hot pass to a cold surface) to prevent thermal shock.
- In the unlikely event of a chip to the rim, remember you are covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Exactly is a 'Reactive Glaze'?
Ever wondered why no two of these bowls look identical? That's the magic of a reactive glaze. Think of it like a personality for your pottery. During firing in the kiln, different minerals mixed into the glaze 'react' to the intense heat in unique ways. This process creates subtle variations in colour, texture, and pattern across the surface of each bowl.
The result is that you get the unique, one-of-a-kind beauty of handcrafted tableware, but with the consistent strength and durability of commercially-produced vitrified porcelain. It’s the perfect way to bring an authentic, artisanal feel to your tables without sacrificing the performance you need in a professional kitchen.
