- Visual Impact: The deep blue colour and unique pattern make dishes pop.
- Weight Consideration: Being high-quality porcelain, they are heavier than standard budget plates.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Whitby was looking to refresh its image and better reflect the quality of its locally-sourced seafood. They decided to replace their plain white tableware with something that had more character and matched the coastal, rustic theme of their dining room.
"From the moment we unboxed them, we knew we'd made the right choice. The colour is reminiscent of the North Sea on a moody day, and they make our food look incredible. Customers are always asking where we got them. They just feel substantial and high-quality."
David Chen – Owner
The bistro noted a significant increase in customers photographing their meals for social media, boosting their online visibility organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Carefully inspect each plate upon arrival to ensure they're in perfect condition.
- For serving hot food, consider warming the plates in a plate warmer to maintain food temperature for longer.
- Plan your storage space; their triangular shape stacks well but may fit differently than round plates.
Keeping It Going
- Although covered by an edge-chip warranty, avoid knocking plates together when clearing tables to maintain their pristine look.
- Load into dishwasher racks carefully, ensuring they don't rattle against other items during the wash cycle.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven to a cold surface) to prevent thermal shock.
- When stacking, ensure the stack is stable. The unglazed foot helps prevent slipping but always stack on a level surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all the plates in a pack identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze process creates subtle, unique variations in the colour and pattern of each plate, giving them an authentic, hand-finished character.
Q: What does 'Vitrified Hotelware Standard BS4034' mean?
A: This is a British Standard that certifies the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature. This process makes it non-porous, incredibly strong, and highly resistant to chipping and cracking, ensuring it's suitable for professional hotel and restaurant use.
Q: Is the unglazed foot rough? Will it scratch tables?
A: The unglazed foot is polished to be smooth to the touch. It's designed to provide grip and prevent slipping on surfaces, not to scratch them.
Q: Can these plates be used in the microwave?
A: Yes, being fully vitrified porcelain, these plates are microwave safe, which is handy for reheating certain dishes or ingredients.
Q: How does the triangular shape affect plating?
A: Many chefs find the corners and long edges of a triangular plate offer more creative plating options than a standard round plate, allowing them to create height and guide the diner's eye.
Q: What kind of cuisine works best on these plates?
A: They are incredibly versatile. The rustic blue colour beautifully complements everything from hearty gastropub pies and grilled steaks to vibrant seafood dishes and colourful vegetarian creations.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It means the manufacturer has guaranteed the edges of the plate against chipping under normal food service use for the lifetime of the product, showcasing their confidence in its durability.
Q: Are these plates heavy?
A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality and sturdiness, but they are not excessively heavy for staff to carry in service.

It’s tableware that not only looks the part but works as hard as you do.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does it Matter?
Ever wondered how these plates get their unique, mottled finish? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it as a little bit of chemistry magic happening in the kiln. Before firing, the plates are coated in a special glaze containing various minerals. As the temperature soars, these minerals react with the heat and with each other in an unpredictable way.
It’s a bit like creating a miniature, beautiful firework display on the surface of each plate. The end result is that no two Olympia FU176 porcelain plates are ever exactly the same. Each one has subtle variations in its pattern and colour depth. This gives you the charm and individuality of hand-crafted pottery, but with the strength and consistency of commercially-made tableware. It’s an instant way to add an authentic, artisanal feel to your tables.
