Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Room in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, was looking to refresh its tableware to better match its modern floral aesthetic and improve the presentation of its famous afternoon tea. They chose the Olympia CU452 Fondant plates for their unique colour and professional-grade durability.
"Our cakes and scones have never looked better! The soft pink of the plates really makes the colours of the fruit and cream pop. We've had so many customers commenting on them, and they've definitely added a touch of class to our service."
Robert Green – Owner
Since introducing the new plates, the tea room has noted a significant increase in social media shares from customers, boosting their online visibility and appeal.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Always give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or storage.
- Familiarise staff with their heat-resistant properties; they are oven and microwave safe for re-heating and finishing.
Keeping It Going
- While dishwasher safe, avoid using harsh, abrasive detergents or scouring pads which could dull the glaze over time.
- Stack plates carefully. The durable rolled edges are designed to minimise chipping, but care should still be taken.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks. Although tough, any damaged crockery should be removed from service to ensure food safety.
- To maintain their beautiful finish, rinse off acidic foods like lemon or vinegar soon after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many plates are in a pack?
A: These Olympia CU452 fondant plates are sold in a pack of four.
Q: Are these plates genuinely dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, they are designed for commercial dishwashers, making them quick and easy to clean during a busy service.
Q: Can I use these plates in the microwave?
A: Absolutely. They are safe for use in both the microwave and the oven, which is great for warming dishes before plating.
Q: What is a 'reactive glaze'?
A: It's a special type of glaze that reacts to the heat during firing, giving each plate a unique, slightly different finish. This creates a beautiful, artisanal look.
Q: Will the pink colour be exactly the same on every plate?
A: Due to the reactive glaze, there will be very subtle variations in the pattern and shade from plate to plate, which is part of their intended charm.
Q: What does 'fully vitrified' mean?
A: It means the porcelain is fired to a point where it becomes non-porous (like glass), making it incredibly durable and resistant to absorbing moisture, odours, and stains.
Q: Are the plates stackable?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stacked, helping you to save valuable storage space in your kitchen or front-of-house areas.
Q: What are the 'rolled edges' for?
A: The edges are thickened and rounded ('rolled') to provide extra strength and resistance to chipping, which is common in busy commercial environments.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You'll see the term 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional-grade crockery, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay particles to fuse together and become like glass. This makes the plate completely non-porous. Think of the difference between a terracotta pot and a glass window. The pot soaks up water, while the glass repels it. Vitrified porcelain acts like that glass window. For your business, this means the plates won't absorb moisture, flavours, or food colours, which prevents staining and cross-contamination. It also makes them significantly stronger, more resistant to chips, and better able to handle 'thermal shock'—like going from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf—without cracking. It's the secret ingredient that makes them tough enough for commercial life.
