Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and check each plate for any chips or cracks from transit.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a dishwasher or by hand before their first use to ensure they are pristine.
- Stack them carefully. The unglazed foot is designed to grip the plate below, preventing slipping.
- Store in a dry, accessible area close to the pass for an efficient service flow.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe, so cleaning is a breeze.
- To maintain the beautiful glazed surface, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive cleaning powders.
- While tough, try to avoid sudden extreme temperature changes, like moving a plate directly from a freezer to a hot oven.
- Check for any chips or cracks regularly as part of your standard kitchen safety checks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all the plates in the pack of 6 identical?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! The reactive glaze process ensures each plate has a unique pattern and finish, giving them a handcrafted look.
Q: What exactly is a 'coupe' plate?
A: A coupe plate has a gentle curve and no rim. This modern design gives you a larger, uninterrupted surface area, making it ideal for creative food presentation.
Q: How tough are these plates compared to standard porcelain?
A: They are designed specifically for commercial use, offering excellent durability and chip resistance that is comparable to standard professional crockery.
Q: Can I use these in my restaurant's heated plate warmer?
A: Absolutely. As they are oven safe, they can comfortably withstand the temperatures of a commercial plate warmer.
Q: Will the non-glazed foot scratch my tables or other plates?
A: No, the foot is fired to be smooth and is designed specifically to prevent scratching while providing grip for stable stacking.
Q: Is the glaze resistant to cutlery marks?
A: Yes, the high-temperature fired glaze is hard-wearing and designed to resist marks from everyday cutlery use in a busy restaurant.
Q: Does the white finish stain from things like tomato sauce or turmeric?
A: The glaze creates a non-porous surface, which is highly resistant to staining from colourful foods and sauces. A simple wash will remove any residue.
Q: What kind of dishes work best on a ceramic dinner plate for restaurant use like this?
A: They're incredibly versatile! They work brilliantly for main courses, complex salads, and shared platters where you want the plate to frame the food beautifully.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered how some pottery gets that beautiful, one-of-a-kind finish? Often, it's down to a 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard uniform glaze, a reactive glaze contains specific minerals and ingredients that 'react' to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This reaction causes the glaze to flow, pool, and crystallise in slightly different ways on every single item.
Think of it like baking a batch of sourdough bread – even with the same recipe, each loaf will have its own unique crust pattern. It's the same principle here. This process gives each commercial stoneware plate its own unique speckles and subtle colour shifts. The result is you get the character and charm of artisan, hand-thrown pottery with the consistency and durability needed for a professional kitchen. It’s an easy way to make your food presentation feel more personal and thoughtfully curated.
