How Olympia Ivory Tableware Collection Works
What makes Olympia Ivory tableware the secret weapon in professional dining settings? It all comes down to the premium vitrified porcelain construction—fired at exceptionally high temperatures to create a non-porous surface that resists chips, scratches and stains. The ivory colour isn't just visually warming; it's achieved through specialized glazing techniques that bond permanently with the porcelain body. This creates tableware that maintains its appearance through thousands of washing cycles, while the reinforced edges prevent chipping during stacking and everyday handling. The subtle cream tone enhances food presentation by providing a neutral yet warm backdrop that makes everything from hearty stews to delicate desserts look absolutely stunning!

Top Tips for Using Olympia Ivory Tableware Collection
To maximize the lifespan of your Olympia Ivory investment, implement proper handling protocols with staff—teach servers to carry stacks of no more than 10 plates to prevent stress fractures. When washing, avoid extreme temperature changes that can shock the porcelain; allow pieces to cool before washing. For storage, use appropriate racks with protective dividers, and periodically rotate stock to ensure even wear across your inventory. Consider napkin colours that complement the warm ivory tone—burgundy, navy, or forest green create particularly striking table settings.
