Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling bistro in York's historic centre, needed to refresh their tableware to better reflect their contemporary take on British classics. Their old, plain white plates felt tired and didn't do justice to the kitchen's creative efforts.
“We wanted plates that felt as special as our food. The moment we saw these ember blue porcelain triangle plates, we knew they were the ones. They have a brilliant 'wow' factor, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they look. They just make everything pop.”
Samuel Jones – Head Chef
Since the switch, the bistro has noted a significant increase in social media shares of their dishes, directly attributing the improved presentation to the new Olympia FU180 plates.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack carefully and check each plate for any transit damage before first use.
- Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with detergent to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Seasoning is not required for vitrified porcelain; they are ready to use straight after washing.
- Designate a specific, stable shelf for storage to minimise accidental knocks.
Keeping It Going
- To protect the glaze, avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh metal utensils for scraping.
- Load into dishwasher racks carefully, ensuring plates don't knock against each other during the wash cycle.
- Although tough, avoid dropping them or subjecting them to extreme, sudden temperature changes (like taking a hot plate and running it under cold water).
- Stack them neatly with care. The unglazed foot is designed to prevent slipping but stacking too high can create instability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is every single plate identical in colour and pattern?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! Due to the reactive glaze process, each plate has slight variations in its blue and brown pattern, giving them a unique, rustic charm.
Q: What does 'Vitrified Hotelware Standard BS4034' actually mean?
A: It's a British standard that certifies the crockery has very low water absorption and is highly durable, making it resistant to chipping, crazing, and suitable for professional hospitality environments.
Q: Are these Olympia FU180 plates safe to use in a microwave?
A: Yes, being made of vitrified porcelain, they are designed to be fully microwave safe for reheating food.
Q: How well do these commercial triangle plates stack?
A: They are designed to be fully stackable. Their shape allows for neat, space-saving storage on kitchen shelves.
Q: What is the 'unglazed foot' for?
A: The foot ring on the bottom of the plate is left unglazed. This creates a slightly rougher texture that provides grip and prevents the plate from sliding easily on smooth tables or serving trays.
Q: Can I use metal cutlery on these plates without scratching them?
A: Yes, the glaze on vitrified porcelain is extremely hard and resistant to marks from everyday cutlery use.
Q: What types of dishes are best for a 190mm plate?
A: This size is perfect for starters, appetisers, side dishes, individual desserts, or small portions in a tasting menu.
Q: Is the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty complicated to use?
A: The warranty is a straightforward commitment from Olympia. It covers chipping on the rim of the plate that occurs during normal food service, storage, and washing.
The Olympia Promise: Where Style Meets Stamina
Choosing Olympia tableware is about more than just picking a colour or shape; it's an investment in consistency and reliability. For decades, Olympia has been a trusted name in professional kitchens across the UK, known for understanding that crockery must be both beautiful and bulletproof. These ember blue porcelain triangle plates perfectly capture that philosophy. While the reactive glaze provides a stunning, individual look, the core of the product is pure performance. The adherence to the rigorous BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware standard and the confidence of a Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty aren't just features—they are promises. They promise fewer replacements, consistent presentation day after day, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your tableware is built to withstand the pressures of a real, working kitchen, not just to look good in a catalogue.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two of these Ember Blue plates look exactly the same? That's the magic of a reactive glaze. Think of it less like a coat of paint and more like a scientific experiment happening in the kiln. During firing at very high temperatures, specific minerals within the glaze react and move, creating unique patterns, colours, and textures. It's a technique borrowed from artisan potters to give mass-produced items a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted feel. This means you get the beautiful, organic look of studio pottery with the strength and consistency of commercially-made vitrified porcelain – the best of both worlds for your tables.
