It’s a smart, professional choice.

- Top Marks for Durability: The vitrified porcelain body and rolled edges significantly reduce chipping and breakages.
- Potentially Large for Solo Diners: Its 200ml size is better for sharing, possibly excessive for single coffees.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tearoom in Bakewell was struggling with a mismatched collection of jugs that were constantly chipping. They needed a uniform and hardwearing solution that matched their traditional aesthetic without breaking the bank.
"We were replacing jugs almost weekly. Since switching to the Olympia whiteware, our tables look so much smarter and we've barely had a single chip in months. They just feel solid and well-made, and our staff appreciate that they go straight in the dishwasher."
Robert Davies – Owner
The switch resulted in a more professional tabletop appearance and a noticeable reduction in their quarterly crockery replacement budget.

Keeping It Going

Q: Are these jugs microwave safe?
A: Yes, being made from fully vitrified porcelain, these jugs are safe for use in the microwave.

A: While they are not designed to nest perfectly inside one another, they can be stacked carefully in storage thanks to their sturdy construction.

A: The stated capacity is the functional volume, leaving a safe margin to the brim to prevent spills during carrying and pouring.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever wondered what makes professional crockery so much tougher than the plates you have at home? The secret is often 'vitrification'. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, which causes the clay body to become glass-like and non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a block of glass. A sponge soaks up everything, but glass repels it. Because vitrified porcelain doesn't absorb water, it's far more resistant to chipping, cracking, and temperature shocks. It also makes it more hygienic, as there are no tiny pores for bacteria or old flavours to hide in. That's why your commercial whiteware milk jug 200ml will look pristine and perform reliably for years, even in the most demanding environment.
