Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse, a popular patisserie in the heart of York, was looking to upgrade its tableware to better reflect the quality of its artisanal pastries. They needed something that was both beautiful for Instagram and tough enough for hundreds of daily covers.
"These Olympia plates were exactly what we were after. The subtle colour makes our cakes and tarts pop, and our customers constantly comment on how lovely they are. They feel premium, but they’ve stood up to our commercial dishwasher without a single chip."
Thomas Finch – Head Pâtissier
Since introducing the plates, the bakery has noticed a distinct increase in social media shares of their desserts, helping to attract new customers.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat is 'Fully Vitrified' Porcelain?
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? Think of it as making porcelain super-strong. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the material to become glass-like (vitreous) and non-porous. This means it doesn’t absorb water, grease, or odours, which is a massive plus for hygiene.
It's like turning a regular sponge into a solid, sealed stone. A sponge soaks everything up, but a stone is impenetrable. That's the difference between standard ceramic and fully vitrified porcelain. This process is what gives these plates their incredible strength, resistance to thermal shock (going from hot to cold), and makes them safe for the dishwasher, oven, and microwave without cracking.
