Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a bustling café in the heart of Cardiff, decided their old white plates were looking tired and wanted tableware that matched their new, modern interior. They needed something stylish but exceptionally durable to handle hundreds of covers a day.

"We wanted something that felt special but could handle the chaos of a weekend service. These bowls were the answer. They look fantastic and are tough as old boots. Customers are always commenting on them."

David Williams – Owner

Since the switch, their social media engagement has increased, with more customers photographing and tagging their dishes, and they haven't had to replace a single bowl due to chipping in over four months.

What Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Kitchen?

Ever wondered what makes some crockery so much tougher than others? Often, it's vitrification. In simple terms, 'fully vitrified' means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature until all the tiny pores in the material have sealed up, making it glassy and non-porous. Think of it like turning a regular sponge into a solid glass marble. Water, oils, and bacteria can't get in, so it doesn't stain, absorb old flavours, or weaken over time. It's this process that gives this Olympia serving bowl mineral its incredible strength and hygienic properties, making it perfect for the non-stop demands of a commercial environment.

Installation and Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

Upon delivery, carefully unbox and check each bowl for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
Always give new tableware a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before its first use.
For serving hot food, you can gently pre-heat the bowls in a plate warmer or a low-temperature oven.
Plan your storage – they stack securely to help keep your shelves organised and save valuable space.

Keeping It Going

To ensure the best cleaning results, rinse off heavy food residue before loading into the dishwasher.
The tough glazed finish is resistant to scratches, but avoid using abrasive metal scourers to keep it pristine.
Let the dishwasher complete its full drying cycle to avoid water spots and ensure they are ready for service.
Remember, the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty has you covered for any accidental chips on the rim during normal use!

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Serveware

Not sure what fits best for your menu? Here’s a quick guide to choosing the right commercial serveware for your business.

Material Matters

Fully vitrified porcelain like this offers the best blend of elegance and extreme durability for busy environments. It resists chipping, staining, and thermal shock.

Consider the Cuisine

While this mineral sloping serving bowl 175mm is brilliant for presented sides, desserts, and salads, you'll want flat plates for main courses and deep bowls for soups.

Durability is Key

Look for features like a 'rolled edge' and an 'edge-chip warranty'. These are sure signs that the product is built to last in a professional setting, saving you money on replacements.

Back-of-House Practicality

Is it stackable? Can it go in the oven, microwave, and dishwasher? These practical features are non-negotiable for a smooth, efficient kitchen operation.

Match Your Brand

Your tableware is a key part of your customer's experience. Choose colours and styles, like the rustic look of the Olympia Mineral range, that complement your brand's identity.

Check Certifications

The BS4034 certification is the British standard for hotelware. It's an independent guarantee that your crockery can withstand the rigours of heavy commercial use.
