- Artisanal Aesthetic: The reactive glaze gives it a handcrafted look that elevates presentation.
- Subtle Colouring: May be too understated for venues seeking a bold, colourful statement.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden Eatery in Norwich was looking to refresh its tabletop presentation to match a new, locally sourced menu. They needed something that felt authentic and premium but could handle a busy service seven days a week.
"We're absolutely thrilled with the Olympia Drift plates. They have a beautiful, understated quality that makes our food look incredible. The fact that each one is slightly different adds to the charm. We’ve had so many positive comments from our regulars since we made the switch."
Robert Finch – Proprietor
The investment led to a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the venue's atmosphere and presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- Plan your storage space – their stackable design is a real space-saver.
Keeping It Going
- Load into the dishwasher carefully, avoiding knocking plates against each other to prevent scratches.
- The porcelain is durable, but try to avoid sudden extreme temperature changes (like moving from a freezer to a hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.
- In the unlikely event of a chip on the rim, remember you're covered by the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty!
- The unglazed foot helps with grip but can pick up marks; a simple scrub will keep it clean.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than a Finish: What is a Reactive Glaze?
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s a bit of kiln magic! During firing, special minerals in the glaze react to the intense heat, creating unique patterns, colours, and textures across the surface of the plate. This process means no two Olympia FU189 coupe plates are ever exactly the same.
Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of oak or the marbling in a slab of stone. It’s an organic process that gives each plate its own individual character. This is what provides that sought-after, handcrafted feel that sets it apart from standard, uniform tableware, adding a layer of authenticity to your service.
