Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Room in Bath was struggling with constantly chipped and tired-looking round mugs. They wanted an upgrade that offered both a more modern aesthetic and better long-term durability for their busy afternoon tea service.
"We were replacing mugs what felt like every other month. Since we switched to these Olympia square ones, they've been absolutely brilliant. They look so smart, and they've handled hundreds of washes without a single chip. It's one less thing for us to worry about."
Robert Williams – Manager
By investing in these tougher mugs, the tea room has significantly reduced its annual crockery replacement costs and improved table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each mug for any signs of damage during transit.
- Run the mugs through a full cycle in a commercial dishwasher to ensure they are sterile before first use.
- Check your shelving to ensure you have adequate, stable space for their square footprint.
- For best results, pre-warm the mugs with hot water before pouring in coffee or tea to keep it hotter for longer.
Keeping It Going
- Always use non-abrasive detergents to protect the glaze and keep the white finish brilliant.
- While durable, avoid dropping things on them and stack with care to maximise their lifespan.
- Remove any mug from service immediately if you notice a chip or crack to ensure customer safety.
- Try to avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes, like taking a hot mug and filling it with ice-cold liquid.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Business
You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? In short, it’s a process that makes the mug incredibly strong and hygienic. The porcelain is fired at a blisteringly high temperature until the clay becomes glassy and non-porous. Think of the difference between a terracotta pot and a glass window. The pot soaks up water, while the glass is completely sealed. That's what vitrification does. It means these microwave safe café mugs won't absorb coffee stains, odours, or moisture over time, ensuring every drink tastes exactly as it should and making them far easier to clean properly.
