  • Stunning Visual Impact: The reactive glaze and  textured finish give a bespoke, high-end feel.
  • Substantial Feel: They are noticeably weightier than standard porcelain, which staff may notice during service.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Croft Kitchen, a farm-to-table restaurant in the Cotswolds, was looking to refresh its tableware to match a newly renovated, rustic-modern interior. Standard white plates felt out of place, and  they needed something with more character that was still tough enough for daily service.

"These Olympia plates were exactly what we were looking for. The texture and  colour immediately elevated our presentation, making our local produce the star of the show. Guests are always asking where our plates are from, and  our social media engagement on food pictures has soared."

Robert Hughes – Owner & Head Chef

After introducing the plates, the restaurant noted a 30% increase in user-generated photo tags on Instagram within three months, boosting their online visibility.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each plate for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Before their first use, we recommend running the plates through a full dishwasher cycle to ensure they are perfectly clean.
  • If using in an oven, avoid placing cold plates directly into a very hot oven; allow them to warm up gradually.
  • The 270mm size is ideal for standard plate rings and  warmers, fitting neatly into your existing service setup.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent thermal shock, avoid transferring plates directly from a hot oven or pass to a cold or wet surface.
  • While dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive steel wool or harsh scourers which could damage the glazed surface.
  • Stack carefully. The rolled edges are tough, but using plate separators can further extend their pristine condition.
  • Regularly check for any chips to make use of the fantastic Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty if needed.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what fits best for your venue? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing plates.

Material Matters

Porcelain is a classic choice for its elegance and  strength. Look for 'fully vitrified' for the highest durability and  hygiene, as it's non-porous and  incredibly tough.

Shape & Size

Consider your menu. A 270mm plate is a versatile size for main courses. Coupe plates (without a rim) offer a larger surface area, while rimmed plates help frame the food.

Colour Your Canvas

While white is traditional, coloured plates like these black textured flat round plates 270mm can make your food stand out, create a mood, and  reinforce your brand's identity.

Durability is Key

In a commercial setting, durability is non-negotiable. Features like a lifetime edge-chip warranty, rolled edges, and  a vitrified body are signs of a product built to last.

Think Practically

Ensure your chosen crockery is stackable to save space and  certified as safe for your oven, microwave, and  commercial dishwasher to streamline your kitchen workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does the 'Cavolo' design refer to?

A: 'Cavolo' refers to the unique textured pattern on the plate, inspired by organic forms to give it a distinct, artisan appearance.

Q: What is a 'reactive glaze'?

A: A reactive glaze is a special finish that varies slightly during the firing process. This means each of the Olympia FD910 plates has a unique, one-of-a-kind character.

Q: Are these plates sold individually or in a set?

A: These particular plates are sold in a box of 4, making it easy to order for your table settings.

Q: How heavy is a single plate?

A: With a box weight of 4.56kg for four plates, each plate weighs approximately 1.14kg, giving it a substantial, high-quality feel.

Q: Is the textured surface difficult to clean?

A: Not at all. The entire plate is sealed by the glaze, creating a smooth, non-porous surface that is fully dishwasher safe and  easy to wipe clean.

Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?

A: It covers chipping on the rolled edge of the plate that may occur under normal food service use, showcasing Olympia's confidence in the product's durability.

Q: Can these plates handle professional kitchen heat?

A: Yes, they are fully oven and  microwave safe, designed to withstand the temperatures and  demands of a commercial kitchen environment.

Q: Is the black colour a coating or part of the material?

A: The colour is part of the durable glaze, which is fused to the porcelain body during firing. It won't peel or fade with regular use and  washing.

Why 'Fully Vitrified' Makes Crockery Stronger

Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' actually means? It's a simple process with a massive impact on durability. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay elements to fuse and  become 'vitrified' – essentially turning it into a glass-like, non-porous state.

Think of it like the difference between a plain digestive biscuit and  a chocolate-covered one. The plain biscuit soaks up tea and  can get soggy, while the chocolate coating acts as a barrier. Vitrification does the same for the plate. It means it won't absorb water, oils, or food odours, making it far more hygienic, resistant to stains, and  much, much stronger against chips and  cracks. It’s a key feature that separates proper commercial-grade crockery from domestic tableware.
