Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Squid, a seaside bistro in Penzance, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their coastal location and vibrant menu. Their old white plates felt clinical and didn't do their colourful seafood dishes justice.
"We fell for the colour straight away. They have a lovely weight to them and feel far more premium than our old set. Our customers notice the little details, and these bowls have been a huge hit since they arrived."
Mark Jones – Head Chef
The bistro reported that photos of their signature dishes shared on social media now receive consistently higher engagement, helping to attract new customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the bowls a quick cycle in the dishwasher or a wash with warm, soapy water.
- Carefully inspect each bowl upon unboxing to ensure they've arrived in perfect condition.
- The stackable design allows for easy, secure storage on your shelves, even in tight spaces.
Keeping It Going
- These bowls are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and effective cleaning.
- To protect the unique glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive cleaning chemicals.
- The vitrified body is tough, but try to avoid sudden extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a hot oven to cold water).
- Don't forget, they're covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for extra peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls really stackable?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed with a specific foot that allows them to be stacked securely, saving valuable shelf space in your kitchen.
Q: What exactly does 'fully vitrified' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, which makes it non-porous (so it won't absorb moisture or odours), exceptionally strong, and very resistant to chipping.
Q: Can I use the bowls in a commercial microwave or oven?
A: Yes, they are safe for use in both commercial microwaves and ovens, making them highly versatile for cooking, baking, and reheating.
Q: How should I clean them after service?
A: They are fully commercial dishwasher safe, so you can simply place them in your machine for a fast and hygienic clean.
Q: What is a reactive glaze?
A: It’s a special type of glaze that reacts in the kiln to give each bowl a unique, slightly different finish. This gives them an attractive, artisanal look.
Q: Will the aqua colour fade with lots of washing?
A: No, the colour is sealed beneath a tough glaze and is designed to withstand the rigours of repeated commercial dishwashing without losing its vibrancy.
Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty actually cover?
A: It's a guarantee from Olympia that the rim of the bowl will not chip under normal food service conditions, for the entire life of the product.
Q: Are all the bowls in a pack identical?
A: Due to the reactive glaze, there will be slight, subtle variations in the pattern and colour depth of each bowl, which adds to their unique charm.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat's So Special About a Reactive Glaze?
Ever wondered how pottery gets that beautiful, one-of-a-kind, artisanal look? Often, it's down to a reactive glaze. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze contains different elements that 'react' to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This reaction creates subtle and unique patterns, colour depths, and textures on every single piece.
Think of it like a natural tie-dye for ceramics. While all the Olympia CU170 aqua bowls come from the same 'family' with that beautiful aqua tone, no two are identical twins. This is a massive plus for any establishment wanting to create an authentic, rustic, and high-end feel. It makes your food look like it's being served on bespoke, handcrafted tableware, adding value and charm to the entire dining experience.
