Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Novello is a real workhorse in a dinner jacket. It strikes that brilliant sweet spot between looking the part for fine dining and being tough enough for the relentless pace of a commercial setting. The clarity of the crystal is immediately noticeable, making even table water look more appealing. It’s a smart, affordable choice for any business wanting an instant aesthetic lift.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The brilliance of the crystal is exceptional at this price point.
- Con: They lack the stackability of more basic tumblers, requiring more shelf space.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Orchard Inn, a popular gastropub in rural Somerset, wanted to refine its table settings to better reflect its gourmet menu. Their existing tumblers felt basic and they needed an upgrade that offered a more premium feel without being overly fragile or expensive.
"The moment we switched to the Olympia Novello glasses, our tables looked smarter. It’s a small detail, but it’s one our regulars noticed and commented on. They just feel right for the kind of experience we want to offer."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The change contributed to a marked increase in positive customer feedback regarding ambience and attention to detail during service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, always inspect each glass for any transit damage before the first wash.
- Run all new glasses through a wash cycle before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
- When loading into a glasswasher, ensure there is adequate space between each glass to prevent knocking and scratching.
- Store on a non-slip mat on a flat, stable shelf to minimise vibrations and risk of falling.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain clarity, use a glass-specific detergent and rinse aid in your dishwasher.
- Regularly check the rim of each glass for small nicks or chips, and remove any damaged items from service.
- For a perfect, streak-free finish, polish glasses with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by not plunging a hot glass straight from the washer into cold liquid, or vice versa.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses truly commercial dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, the Olympia Novello HW654 glasses are designed to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing, including high temperatures and detergents.
Q: What is the difference between these and a wine glass?
A: While they share an elegant stem, these water glasses have a wider bowl and a straight-sided shape, which is more versatile for water, juice, and soft drinks than a tapered wine glass.
Q: Does 'crystal glass' mean it contains lead?
A: Not anymore. Modern commercial crystal glassware, like this, is lead-free. It uses alternative minerals like barium or zinc oxide to achieve its signature brilliance and clarity.
Q: How durable are they for a busy restaurant?
A: They are designed for commercial use, with features like a rolled rim for chip resistance. While more elegant than toughened tumblers, they offer a great balance of beauty and durability.
Q: Can I serve a small dessert or starter in these?
A: Absolutely. Their shape makes them excellent for serving individual portions of mousse, prawn cocktails, or other layered starters and desserts for a creative presentation.
Q: How do I prevent the glasses from going cloudy over time?
A: Cloudiness is often caused by hard water deposits. Using a quality rinse aid in your glasswasher is the best way to prevent this and maintain their sparkle.
Q: Is the 365ml capacity measured to the brim?
A: Yes, commercial glassware capacity is typically measured 'to brim'. For a comfortable serve with no spills, you would pour slightly less.
Q: Are the glasses heavy to hold?
A: They have a reassuring weight that feels high-quality without being heavy or cumbersome for the guest to hold.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy Crystal Glassware Makes a Real Difference
Ever wondered what makes 'crystal' glass different? It’s not just about being fancy. Traditional glass can sometimes have a slight green or blue tint and look a bit cloudy. Crystal glass, thanks to its mineral composition, is exceptionally clear and colourless. Think of it like this: it’s the difference between watching a film on a standard screen versus a high-definition one. The water or juice inside simply looks brighter, cleaner, and more appealing. For a customer, this subtle improvement enhances their perception of quality across the board, making your service feel more considered and premium, all before they've taken a sip.
Who Should Buy This?
- Fine-Dining Restaurants: Elevate your water service to match the quality of your food and create a cohesive, high-end table setting.
- Boutique Hotels: Impress guests with premium in-room and restaurant glassware that enhances their overall stay and perception of quality.
- Event & Wedding Caterers: Provide a touch of elegance for functions and banquets with durable yet beautiful stemmed water glasses for catering.
- High-End Gastropubs: Differentiate your table service from standard pubs by using sophisticated glassware for water and soft drinks.
