Expert Review and Insights
Olympia has really hit the mark with the Ember collection. It captures that sought-after rustic, earthy aesthetic but builds it on a fully commercial, vitrified body. The triangular shape isn't just for looks; it frames food beautifully. These are the kind of bowls that get customers talking—and taking photos—before they’ve even taken a bite.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular eatery in Bristol, wanted to refresh their tabletop look to match their newly launched seasonal menu. They felt their old white plates weren't doing justice to their colourful, modern British dishes.
"We chose the Olympia Ember bowls because they just make food look incredible. The blue is so rich and the unique shape really draws the eye. Our customers constantly comment on them, and the durability has been fantastic. Not a single chip in sight after months of heavy use."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
Since the switch, the restaurant has seen a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the overall presentation and atmosphere.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Always give new tableware a thorough wash before its first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Take advantage of the stackable design by designating a clear, safe storage area close to your pass or serving station.
- Inspect each bowl upon arrival to ensure they're perfect and ready for service.
Keeping It Perfect
- These bowls are fully dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding the rack to ensure a thorough clean and prevent knocking.
- To maintain the vibrant glaze, use a quality rinse aid to prevent water spots and clouding over time.
- The unglazed foot provides grip, so ensure it is kept clean and free from grease for maximum stability.
- While very tough, avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving a bowl directly from a refrigerator to a very hot oven.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's not just a fancy name for a colour. It’s a special ceramic finishing process where different minerals are mixed into the glaze. When the bowl is fired in the kiln at incredibly high temperatures, these minerals react and fuse in unpredictable ways, creating unique patterns, textures, and colour gradients. Think of it like a fingerprint for your crockery—while they all belong to the same family, no two bowls will ever be exactly identical.
This process gives each piece an authentic, hand-crafted character that you simply can't get from a standard, uniform finish. It's the perfect way to achieve an artisanal, rustic look on your tables without the fragility or high cost of genuinely hand-thrown pottery, giving you the best of both worlds: unique style and commercial-grade strength.
Who Should Buy This?
- Gastropubs & Bistros: Ideal for serving signature mains, hearty salads, or pasta, adding a rustic and memorable touch.
- Boutique Hotels: Elevate your in-room dining and restaurant presentation with tableware that feels both artisanal and exclusive.
- Farm-to-Table Restaurants: The earthy, natural tones perfectly complement a menu focused on fresh, seasonal, and local ingredients.
