- Practical Durability: The rolled edges and vitrified body genuinely resist daily kitchen knocks and drops.
- Size Specificity: Their 75mm size is perfect for dips, but won't suit larger side dishes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren Bistro in Whitby needed to upgrade their tableware. Their existing dip pots were constantly chipping, looking tired and unprofessional, which reflected poorly on their carefully crafted sharing platters.
"We were haemorrhaging money replacing chipped crockery. We switched to the Olympia miniature circle serving bowls six months ago and the difference is night and day. They look fantastic, our customers have noticed, and they're tough as anything. The edge-chip warranty sealed the deal for us."
David Chen – Head Chef
Since making the switch, the bistro has seen a 90% reduction in crockery breakages for its side dishes and a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect all bowls for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before their first use, run the bowls through a full cycle in your commercial dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean.
- Stack them neatly on your shelves; the uniform shape and rolled edges make them very stable and space-efficient.
Keeping It Going
- To maintain the pristine glazed finish, avoid using harsh metal scourers or overly abrasive cleaning chemicals.
- When loading into dishwasher racks, position them carefully to prevent them from knocking against other items.
- The Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty provides cover for normal use, so you can handle them with confidence in a fast-paced environment.
- Although exceptionally tough, it's good practice to periodically check your crockery for any signs of wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these bowls pure white?
A: Yes, they feature a classic, clean white glazed finish that provides a neutral backdrop for your food.

A: It's a high-temperature firing process that makes the porcelain non-porous, exceptionally strong, and resistant to heat shock, stains, and odours.

A: Each box contains a pack of 12 Olympia Y135 miniature circle dishes, ready for service.
Q: What is the exact diameter?
A: The bowls have a diameter of 75mm, which is approximately 3 inches, making them ideal for small portions and condiments.
Q: Are they heavy to handle?
A: They have a reassuring, quality weight but are designed for easy handling by service staff. The entire box of 12 weighs just over 1kg.
Q: Will they stain with things like tomato sauce or balsamic glaze?
A: The non-porous glazed finish is highly resistant to staining from even strong-coloured foods, and they clean up brilliantly in the dishwasher.
Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping that may occur on the rim (edge) of the bowl during normal food service, preparation, and washing.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Really Mean for Your Kitchen?
You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what does it actually mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature until the clay and minerals fuse together, becoming glass-like and completely non-porous. Think of it like the difference between a plain biscuit and a glazed doughnut. One soaks up your tea instantly, while the other resists it. Vitrified porcelain is the doughnut – it won't absorb water, oils, or strong-smelling foods. This not only makes it far more hygienic and resistant to stains and odours, but it also gives it immense strength against thermal shock, like when you take it from a hot dishwasher and stack it in a cooler room.
