Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a bustling coffee shop in York, wanted to move away from standard white crockery to something that better reflected their artisan coffee and homemade cakes. They chose the Olympia Fondant collection for its unique look and commercial-grade toughness.
"Our old plates were just so... boring. These saucers are stunning. The soft blue colour makes the whole table setting pop, and customers are always asking where we got them from. They just feel so much more special."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
The switch resulted in a noticeable increase in customer social media posts tagging the café, effectively boosting their online presence without any extra marketing spend.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each saucer for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the saucers a full wash cycle in your commercial dishwasher before their first use to remove any dust.
- Pair them with the correct cup size (CU186) to ensure a stable and secure fit.
Keeping It Going
- Stack carefully, avoiding over-stacking to prevent instability and unnecessary pressure on lower items.
- Although dishwasher safe, use a non-abrasive detergent to protect the unique reactive glaze over the long term.
- Regularly check the rolled edges for any potential damage, though this is covered by the lifetime edge-chip warranty.
- Avoid using metal scourers, as these can scratch the surface and compromise the finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'reactive glaze' mean?
A: It's a special glazing process where chemicals react in the kiln, giving each saucer a unique, slightly different finish. It results in a beautiful, artisan look that's distinct from uniform, mass-produced crockery.
Q: Are these fondant saucers for cafes genuinely microwave safe?
A: Yes, they are designed to be completely safe for use in a commercial microwave, which is great for pre-heating cups or keeping drinks warm.
Q: How well do these saucers stack?
A: They are specifically designed to be stackable, with a shape that allows them to nestle securely on top of each other to save valuable storage space.
Q: What is the BS4034 Vitrified Hotelware Standard?
A: It's a British standard that certifies the crockery has a very low water absorption level, making it extremely durable, hygienic, and suitable for commercial hospitality use.
Q: What cup does this saucer fit?
A: These 155mm saucers are designed to perfectly fit the matching Olympia Fondant Aqua cups, which have the product code CU186.
Q: Is the colour a solid blue?
A: No, the reactive glaze creates a varied, slightly mottled aqua blue finish, so each piece has its own unique character rather than being a solid block of colour.
Q: How resistant are they to cutlery scratches?
A: The vitrified porcelain and hard glaze offer excellent resistance to everyday scratches from spoons and other cutlery.
Q: What does the lifetime edge-chip warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping on the rolled edge of the saucer during normal food service use, offering a replacement and demonstrating the product's high durability.
The Olympia Promise: Style That Lasts
Choosing Olympia crockery is about more than just picking a colour; it's an investment in reliability. For years, Olympia has been a trusted name in UK hospitality, known for creating products that masterfully blend aesthetic appeal with the practical demands of a commercial kitchen. The Fondant collection is a perfect example of this philosophy. While the beautiful reactive glaze catches the eye, it's the hidden strengths—like the fully vitrified body and adherence to the tough BS4034 standard—that deliver long-term value. This means fewer replacements due to breakages, consistent presentation that your customers will admire, and the operational confidence that your tableware won't let you down during a frantic Saturday night service. It's the smart choice for businesses that understand that true value lies in quality that endures.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever wondered what makes commercial crockery tougher than the plates you have at home? Often, it's vitrification. Think of it like this: when porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, the clay and glaze fuse together and become 'vitrified', which essentially means it turns glass-like and non-porous. It's the difference between a regular biscuit that soaks up your tea and a super-dense ginger nut that can withstand a good dunking.
For your business, this means the saucer won't absorb water, oils from food, or cleaning chemicals. This prevents it from weakening over time, stops bacteria from finding a place to hide, and makes it highly resistant to stains. So, 'fully vitrified' is just the technical way of saying it's built to be stronger, safer, and last much, much longer in a demanding kitchen environment.
