Expert Review and Insights
Olympia has really hit the mark with these Raw plates. They tap directly into the trend for authentic, earthy tableware but do it with the professional chef in mind. The finish is gorgeous, with a subtle texture that feels premium, and the fact it's made from recycled clay is a huge plus. They feel substantial and are built for service, not just for show.

- Pro: The unique reactive glaze on each plate offers a bespoke, high-end feel.
- Con: The unglazed foot can retain moisture, so ensure they are fully dry before stacking.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Walled Garden Bistro in Bath decided to overhaul their tableware to better reflect their locally-sourced, seasonal menu. Their old, plain white plates felt clinical and didn't match the rustic charm of their historic venue.
"We wanted plates that felt like part of the story we're telling with our food. The moment we saw these Olympia Raw plates, we knew they were the ones. Our customers constantly comment on them, and they make our dishes look absolutely incredible on social media."
Ben Carter – Head Chef
Since the switch, the bistro has noted a 25% increase in customer-generated social media tags, directly attributing it to their enhanced food presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the plates through a dishwasher cycle or wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
- Check each plate for any imperfections upon unboxing, as is standard practice for all new crockery.
- Stack them carefully in your plate warmer or on shelves; the non-glazed foot helps prevent slipping.
Keeping It Going
- Although dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive detergents or scouring pads which could dull the glaze over time.
- To prevent 'thermal shock' (cracking), avoid transferring plates directly from a hot oven to a cold surface.
- Ensure the unglazed base is completely dry after washing before you stack them to prevent moisture spots.
- Handle with care to avoid chipping, just as you would with any high-quality ceramic tableware.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates really as durable as standard crockery?
A: Absolutely. They are made to be fully vitrified and robust, designed specifically to withstand the rigours of a busy commercial environment, including frequent washing and use.
Q: Will the colour or glaze fade in the dishwasher?
A: No, the glaze is fired at a high temperature, making it an integral part of the plate. It is completely dishwasher safe and designed for long-lasting colour.
Q: What does 'non-glazed foot' mean for cleaning?
A: It simply means the base ring is un-coated for stability. It's perfectly safe for washing but it's best to ensure it's fully dry before stacking to avoid trapping moisture.
Q: Can I use these plates for serving hot desserts from the oven?
A: Yes, they are oven-safe, making them versatile enough for 'plate-to-oven' dishes or for warming before service.
Q: Is the reactive glaze food safe?
A: Yes, completely. The glaze is lead-free and conforms to all food safety standards, so you can serve your customers with total confidence.
Q: Is every plate in the pack of 6 identical?
A: No, and that's the beauty of them! The reactive glaze ensures each plate has a slightly different pattern, giving them a unique, handcrafted character.
Q: Do they chip easily?
A: They are designed for commercial use and are resistant to chipping from normal use, but like all ceramics, they can be damaged if dropped or knocked against hard surfaces.
Q: Does the 80% recycled clay content affect the plate's performance?
A: Not at all. It's an innovative process that reclaims waste material without compromising on strength, heat retention, or overall quality.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Exactly is a 'Reactive Glaze'?
Ever wondered how each of these charcoal finish commercial plates gets its unique, mottled pattern? The secret is the 'reactive glaze'. It's a special type of coating that contains different elements which react uniquely to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. Think of it like baking a cake where no two air bubbles form in the same place – the heat creates a one-of-a-kind finish on every plate. This process means you get the consistency of a commercially produced plate with the beautiful, bespoke character of a handmade artisan piece, giving your tables a truly authentic feel without the artisan price tag.
