Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Top-Tier Durability: The vitrified build and  edge-chip warranty are genuinely exceptional for this price point.
  • A Safe Bet: The classic design is versatile but won't suit more avant-garde restaurant concepts.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle in Bakewell, a popular Peak District tea room, needed to overhaul its mismatched and  frequently chipped side plates. They wanted a uniform, professional look that was tough enough to handle hundreds of daily covers without showing wear and  tear.

"We were spending a small fortune replacing chipped plates every month. Since switching to the Olympia CB478 plates, our breakage costs have plummeted. They look fantastic, clean up perfectly, and  the wide rim really makes our Bakewell Tarts pop. Our staff and  customers love them."

Robert Davies – Owner

The switch resulted in an 80% reduction in monthly tableware replacement costs and  consistently positive feedback on presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack your new plates carefully and  check for any transit damage before use.
  • Give them a quick cycle through the dishwasher to ensure they are perfectly clean and  ready for service.
  • Designate a clear, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise handling mishaps.

Keeping It Going

  • Stack plates carefully, avoiding sliding them over each other to prevent surface scratches on the glaze.
  • When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates aren't knocking against each other to protect the edges.
  • Although tough, always handle with care. Regularly inspect for any damage before use.
  • The Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty covers the rim, so keep them in top condition to ensure they last.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Plates

Not sure what to look for when choosing plates for your business? Here are a few key things to consider to make sure you get the perfect fit.

Material Matters

Porcelain is the go-to for most commercial kitchens due to its fantastic durability and  heat retention. It’s a true workhorse material.

Size and  Rim Style

Consider your menu. These 165mm plates are ideal for sides, starters and  desserts. A wide rim frames food beautifully, while a coupe-style plate maximises serving space.

Look for Durability Features

For a busy environment, features like 'vitrified', 'rolled edges', and  an 'edge-chip warranty' are signs of a plate that's built to last.

Check if They're Stackable

Kitchen space is always at a premium. Ensure your chosen plates stack neatly and  safely to make the most of your storage.

Versatility is Key

Plates that are safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and  oven offer maximum flexibility, saving you time and  extra washing up.

What 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Kitchen

You'll see the term 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional-grade tableware, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body becomes non-porous and  glass-like. Think of it like turning a slightly absorbent sponge into a solid, sealed pebble. Because it's no longer porous, it won't absorb water, oils, or strong food colours and  odours. This is why vitrified plates resist staining from things like beetroot or curry, and  it also makes them much stronger and  more resistant to 'thermal shock'—the cracking that can happen when going from hot to cold too quickly. It's the secret sauce that makes these plates so durable.
