Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Copper Kettle," a family-run tearoom in the heart of the Peak District, needed to upgrade their mismatched and frequently chipped dessert bowls to something more uniform and resilient for their busy tourist season.
"We were spending a small fortune replacing broken bowls. We needed something that looked the part for our traditional puddings but could also handle being dropped by a clumsy Saturday lad! These Olympia bowls have been brilliant – they look lovely on the table and are incredibly tough."
Susan Miller – Co-Owner
The switch to the Olympia HZ337 bowls led to a 40% reduction in their tableware replacement budget over the first year and improved service efficiency due to easy stacking and cleaning.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each bowl for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the bowls a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- Designate a clean, stable, and easily accessible shelf for storage, ideally close to the service or washing area.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock (and potential cracking), avoid pouring boiling hot liquids into a cold bowl, or plunging a hot bowl into cold water.
- When loading into a glasswasher, ensure bowls are not knocking against each other to minimise the risk of chipping.
- Stack carefully, ensuring the stack is stable and not too high to prevent it from toppling over.
- Regularly check the rims for any small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged bowls from service to ensure customer safety.

A: Each bowl has a capacity of 316ml (10?oz), which is ideal for individual dessert portions, starters, or generous bar snacks.

A: These are sold as a convenient and cost-effective pack of six, ensuring you have a consistent set ready for service.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Rolled Edges' Are a Smart Choice for Your Tableware
Ever wondered what makes some glassware tougher than others? Often, it's a small detail like a 'rolled edge'. This isn't just a style choice; it's a clever piece of engineering for durability. Think of a standard, sharp glass rim as a weak point – it's thin and vulnerable to chipping when knocked against another bowl or a tap during washing. A rolled edge, however, is thickened and rounded over.
Imagine it like the reinforced bumper on a car. This simple curve distributes the force of any impact across a wider area, making it far less likely to chip or crack. For a busy pub or restaurant, this means your bowls last significantly longer, look better for your customers, and save you the cost and hassle of constant replacements. It's a small feature that delivers a big impact on your bottom line.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Bars: A stylish and durable option for serving up portions of peanuts, crisps, and olives.
- Dessert Parlours & Cafés: Perfect for beautifully presenting individual servings of gelato, mousse, or fruit salad.
- Hotels & Guest Houses: An ideal choice for the breakfast buffet for yoghurts, compotes, and granola.
- Bistros & Restaurants: Versatile enough for side salads, dips, appetisers, or even small bowls of soup.
