Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Gilded Pheasant in Bakewell, Derbyshire, decided to replace their plain white crockery to better reflect their new, modern British menu. They needed something with personality that could still withstand a relentless service schedule.
"We were after bowls that looked special but were tough enough for daily use. These Olympia Ember blue bowls are absolutely stunning and the build quality is fantastic. Our customers constantly mention how lovely they are, and they make our food photography so much better."
Robert Mills – Head Chef
The switch in tableware directly contributed to an improved customer perception of quality, with a noticeable uptick in positive online reviews mentioning food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any signs of damage from transit.
- Give the bowls a quick cycle through the dishwasher or a hand wash before their first use to ensure they are pristine for service.
- When storing, stack them carefully. The unglazed foot is designed to help with stability and prevent slipping.
- Organise your shelves so the bowls are easily accessible during a busy service, saving vital seconds.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully commercial dishwasher safe, so cleaning is as simple as it gets.
- To keep the glaze looking its best, avoid using abrasive metal scourers or harsh chemicals.
- The vitrified porcelain body is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb strong colours or flavours from foods like curry or bolognese.
- Handle with care, but remember your purchase is backed by the Olympia Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for extra security.

Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It’s not just a fancy name for a colour. During the manufacturing process, a special combination of minerals is applied to the bowl. When fired in the kiln at incredibly high temperatures, these minerals react, fusing with the porcelain to create unique, flowing patterns and subtle variations in colour and texture.
Think of it like a piece of polished granite or natural wood – the beauty is in the fact that no two pieces are ever completely identical. This process gives each of your Ember blue porcelain coupe bowls a distinct, bespoke character, lending your table a genuinely handcrafted and premium feel that you simply can't achieve with standard, mass-produced tableware. It’s an easy way to show your customers you care about every little detail.
