The move towards rustic, authentic tableware is more than a trend; it's a reflection of diners wanting a more genuine experience. These Olympia Canvas plates nail that brief perfectly.

Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →
- Standout Looks: The unique reactive glaze on each plate is genuinely stunning.
- A Tad Weighty: Being stoneware, they are heavier than standard porcelain plates.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular eatery in Keswick, Lake District, decided to refresh their tableware to better match their locally-sourced, rustic menu. They felt their old white plates didn't do justice to the vibrant dishes they were creating.
"The moment we switched to the Olympia Canvas plates, we noticed a difference. Customers were commenting on them, taking photos for social media... it just elevated the whole experience. They make our food look like art."
Robert Davies – Owner & Head Chef
The change contributed to a significant increase in their online presence, with tagged photos of their dishes on Instagram rising by over 50% in three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and check each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give the plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
- When storing, stack them carefully. The unglazed foot helps with stability, preventing sliding.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are fully commercial dishwasher safe for fast and efficient cleaning.
- To protect the beautiful matte glaze, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive chemicals.
- The unglazed foot provides excellent grip but ensure it's completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture retention.
- The stoneware is oven-safe, making it perfect for warming before service to keep food hotter for longer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all the plates in the pack identical?
A: No, and that's their best feature! The reactive glaze process ensures that each plate has a unique pattern and colour variation, giving you a bespoke, artisan feel.
Q: What are the Olympia FA303 blue granite round plates made of?
A: They are crafted from high-quality, durable stoneware, which is known for its strength and excellent heat retention.
Q: Can I use these in my commercial dishwasher?
A: Absolutely. They are designed to be fully safe for use in commercial dishwashers for quick and easy turnaround during service.
Q: Are the plates oven and microwave safe?
A: Yes, they are safe for use in both the microwave for reheating and in the oven, which is ideal for warming plates before service.
Q: What does the 'embossed finish' feel like?
A: It provides a subtle, tactile texture to the surface, rather than being completely smooth. This adds to the premium, rustic character of the plate.
Q: How many plates come in one box?
A: This product is sold as a restaurant round plates pack of 6, perfect for small table settings or for trying out the range.
Q: Why does the plate have an unglazed foot?
A: The unglazed, slightly rougher base provides better grip on tablecloths and other surfaces, helping to prevent plates from slipping and sliding.
Q: Is the colour a solid blue?
A: No, it's a 'blue granite' effect, meaning it has a rich, mottled pattern with different shades of blue and speckles, much like natural stone.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy a 'Reactive Glaze' Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's not just a fancy marketing term. During firing in the kiln, different minerals in the glaze recipe react to the intense heat, melting and flowing in unique ways. This process creates subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in colour, pattern, and texture across the surface of each plate.
Think of it like the way no two natural stones or wooden grains are identical. While every plate comes from the same batch and shares the same core 'Blue Granite' colour palette, each one has its own distinct personality. This gives you the artisanal, hand-crafted look that's so sought after, but with the consistency and durability you need for a commercial setting. It’s the perfect blend of art and science for your tabletop.
