- Pros: The lifetime edge-chip warranty is a massive selling point for busy venues.
- Cons: Its classic, narrow rim design may be too simple for fine-dining presentation.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Courtyard Deli" in York, a bustling city-centre lunch spot, was struggling with constant tableware breakages from their previous supplier. They needed a more robust solution that still looked smart for their customers without breaking the bank.
"We were tired of seeing chipped plates; it looks unprofessional and costs a fortune to keep replacing them. We switched to the Olympia CB486 plates for their renowned durability and the edge-chip warranty. The difference has been remarkable."
Sarah Jenkins – Manager
The switch resulted in a 70% reduction in their quarterly tableware replacement budget and significantly improved their presentation consistency.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each plate for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Give all plates a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust or residues from manufacturing and shipping.
- Stack them in a designated, easy-to-access area, ensuring shelves are clean and stable.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent scratching, avoid scraping plates with metal utensils. Use rubber spatulas to clear food.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure plates do not knock against each other to minimise impact.
- Avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving a plate directly from a freezer into a hot oven. Allow it to adjust to room temperature first.
- The rolled edges are durable, but always stack carefully to preserve the integrity of the rim and the glaze.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Fully Vitrified' Makes a Real Difference
You'll see 'fully vitrified' mentioned a lot with professional crockery, but what does it actually mean for your kitchen? In simple terms, vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body becomes glass-like and non-porous. This means it has an incredibly low water absorption rate (under 0.5%).
Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a block of glass. A sponge soaks up everything, but nothing gets inside the glass. Because vitrified porcelain doesn't absorb water, it's far more hygienic—there's nowhere for bacteria to hide. It also prevents it from absorbing food flavours or odours and makes it much more resistant to cracking when moving between hot and cold temperatures. This one feature is the key to its long-term durability and safety.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for serving side salads, bread, appetisers, or small desserts in a professional setting.
- Cafés & Tea Rooms: The perfect size for a slice of cake, a scone with cream, or a savoury pastry.
- Hotels & Guest Houses: A versatile choice for breakfast buffets, room service side dishes, or conference refreshments.
- Dessert Parlours: Superb for presenting individual portions of gateaux, tarts, or cheesecakes with a clean, classic look.
