Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Star & Garter, a popular gastropub in Leamington Spa, was looking to refresh its tableware to better match its newly refurbished, contemporary interior. Their old, chipped white plates no longer reflected the quality of their locally-sourced menu.
“The moment we saw these Olympia coupe bowls, we knew they were the ones. The colour is stunning and the quality is obvious. Our regulars noticed the upgrade straight away, and they make our food look even better on Instagram!”
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since introducing the bowls, the pub has reported a 30% increase in customer food photos being tagged and shared on social media, boosting their online visibility.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and inspect each bowl for any transit damage before first use.
- Give the bowls a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent to remove any factory residues.
- Stack them carefully on your shelves; the unglazed foot helps prevent slipping but always ensure stacks are stable.
- Pre-heat the bowls in a plate warmer if serving hot food to take advantage of the porcelain's excellent heat retention.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal utensils which could scratch the glazed surface.
- Although tough, avoid dropping them or subjecting them to sudden extreme temperature changes (thermal shock).
- In the unlikely event of a chip on the rim, remember they are covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'vitrified' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature, making it glass-like, non-porous, and very strong. It won't absorb water, grease, or odours.
Q: Are these bowls microwave safe?
A: Yes, being made from vitrified porcelain, these bowls are safe for use in the microwave.
Q: Is the colour and pattern exactly the same on every bowl?
A: No, and that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze process creates a unique finish on each bowl, so while they all share the same colour scheme, the patterns will vary slightly.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It covers chipping on the rim of the bowl under normal food service use, offering a replacement and demonstrating the product's high quality and durability.
Q: Are the bowls heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that communicates quality without being excessively heavy for staff to carry. The total weight for a box of 4 is 2.9kg.
Q: What does 'coupe' style mean?
A: A coupe bowl or plate has a smooth, rimless, slightly curved shape. This modern design gives you more usable surface area and frames the food beautifully.
Q: Will the unglazed foot scratch my tables?
A: The unglazed foot is polished to be smooth to the touch. Its primary purpose is to provide grip and prevent slipping, and it is not abrasive.
Q: Can I buy these bowls individually?
A: These Olympia FU174 coupe bowls are supplied in a convenient and cost-effective pack of 4.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Exactly is a 'Reactive Glaze'?
Ever wondered why no two of these Ember Blue bowls look identical? That’s the magic of a reactive glaze. During the firing process in the kiln, special minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat, flowing and separating to create unique, organic patterns. It’s not a printed or painted-on design; it’s a natural chemical reaction.
Think of it like a snowflake – the conditions in the kiln ensure that while every bowl has the same beautiful blue and brown colour palette, the exact pattern of swirls and speckles is a one-off. This gives you the consistency of a professionally made product with the bespoke, handcrafted feel of artisan pottery, adding a layer of authenticity to your tables.
