Expert Review and Insights
The move towards softer, pastel-toned tableware is a trend that's here to stay, and Olympia's Fondant range nails it. This isn't just about colour; it's about creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The quality is immediately apparent—the weight is reassuring, and the reactive glaze adds a premium touch you don't often find at this price point. It’s a fantastic choice for any venue wanting to look current without sacrificing durability.

- Style Meets Strength: The beautiful glaze gives a high-end look that stands up to commercial use.
- Perfectly Imperfect: The reactive glaze means slight colour variations, so they're not perfectly uniform.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Willow Tree Pantry," a bustling tearoom in the heart of the Cotswolds, decided to upgrade their traditional white crockery. They wanted to create a more memorable, 'Instagrammable' experience for their popular afternoon tea service and stand out from local competitors.
"Our customers absolutely adore the new mint green saucers and cups. We constantly see people snapping photos for their social media, and they always mention the lovely colour. They feel special, and frankly, our food has never looked better. The fact they're so tough is a massive bonus for the team."
Robert Davies – Owner
Since introducing the Olympia Fondant range, the tearoom has seen a 30% increase in social media tags from customers, directly contributing to a noticeable uplift in weekend bookings.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before their first outing, give your new saucers a full cycle in the dishwasher to remove any dust from the factory or transit.
- Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise the risk of accidental knocks during a busy service.
- If you're stacking them, make sure they are completely dry first to prevent water spots and suction between pieces.
Keeping It Going
- Although tough, avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals, which can dull the unique reactive glaze over time.
- Take advantage of the lifetime edge-chip warranty, but always handle with care as you would with any quality crockery to maximise its lifespan.
- Rinse off acidic food residues (like lemon from a tea) promptly to keep the beautiful pastel finish looking its best.
- Periodically check storage shelves for any rough spots or grit that could cause scratches to the base of the saucers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these saucers a standard size?
A: Yes, at 136mm in diameter they are a very common commercial size, designed as a perfect fit for the matching Olympia Fondant cups (product code CU442).
Q: What exactly does 'reactive glaze' mean?
A: It's a special glazing technique where minerals react in the kiln, creating subtle and unique variations in the colour and pattern. This means no two saucers are absolutely identical.
Q: Will the colour fade after many washes in a commercial dishwasher?
A: No. The colour is sealed in by the vitrification process. These Olympia CU443 mint saucers are designed specifically for frequent, high-temperature washing without fading.
Q: How many saucers are in a single pack?
A: This product is sold as a 6 pack mint saucers, making it easy to order the exact quantities you need for your business.
Q: Can I use these in a professional plate warmer?
A: Absolutely. As they are fully oven-safe, they can comfortably be stored in a commercial plate warmer to ensure a hot coffee is served in a warm cup.
Q: What is the main benefit of 'vitrified' porcelain?
A: The main benefits are strength and hygiene. It's incredibly durable and non-porous, meaning it resists chipping, staining, and absorbing any moisture or bacteria.
Q: Do these stack neatly on a shelf?
A: Yes, they are designed with a consistent foot ring that allows them to be stacked securely and efficiently, saving valuable storage space.
Q: What does the BS4034 standard guarantee?
A: This is the British Standard for Vitrified Hotelware. It's a certification that guarantees the product has very low water absorption and high resistance to impact, confirming it's suitable for professional hospitality.
The Olympia Advantage: Style That Lasts
Choosing Olympia crockery is about more than just getting a durable product; it's an investment in your brand's presentation. With decades of experience, Olympia has perfected the art of blending contemporary, on-trend designs like the Fondant range with the workhorse reliability that professional caterers demand. Investing in quality, visually appealing tableware is a smart business decision. It's not just a saucer; it’s a key part of the customer's experience that elevates the perceived value of what you're serving, encourages social media sharing, and builds a stronger, more memorable brand identity. Unlike cheaper, brittle alternatives, Olympia’s vitrified porcelain, backed by that incredible lifetime edge-chip warranty, translates to fewer replacements, lower long-term costs, and the consistency your customers deserve.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? In short, it’s a process that makes porcelain incredibly strong and hygienic. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at extremely high temperatures until the clay essentially turns into a glass-like state (it 'vitrifies'). This closes up all the microscopic pores in the material that you'd find in standard ceramic.
Think of it like the difference between a terracotta plant pot and a glass window. The pot absorbs water, while the glass is completely non-porous. Vitrified porcelain is the 'glass' in this scenario. Because it doesn't absorb water, it also won't absorb flavours or odours, and crucially, it gives bacteria nowhere to hide. This means your restaurant porcelain saucers will stay stain-free for longer, be easier to clean, and fully support your hygiene standards, all while being much more resistant to chipping and cracking.
