Gondola Platter | Oval Serving Dish | 560mm | Olympia CC898

Q: Is the platter surface completely flat?

A: No, it has a gentle, shallow curve like a traditional gondola boat, which is perfect for holding food and  any light sauces or juices securely.

Q: What exactly does 'BS4034 Standard' mean?

A: It's a British industry standard that certifies the tableware has a low water absorption rate, making it durable, hygienic, and  suitable for hotel and  catering use.

Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?

A: It's simple. If the edge of the platter chips during normal, everyday food service use, Olympia will replace it, demonstrating their confidence in the product's durability.

Q: Is the 1.97kg weight difficult for staff to handle?

A: While it has a reassuring heft that customers appreciate, it's a manageable weight for professional staff. The elongated shape also allows for a secure two-handed grip.

Q: Can I use sharp knives, like a pizza cutter, on the surface?

A: While the glazed surface is very hardwearing, we recommend avoiding the use of very sharp knives directly on the platter to maintain its perfect finish long-term.

Q: Is the white a bright, pure white?

A: Yes, the Olympia CC898 gondola platter is a classic, brilliant white which provides a high-contrast, clean backdrop that makes food look its most appealing.

Q: Will it hold heat well for serving hot food?

A: Absolutely. As a dense, vitrified porcelain piece, it has excellent heat retention properties, keeping hot food warmer for longer at the table.

Q: Does the glazed finish wear off over time?

A: No, the glaze is fused to the porcelain during firing, making it exceptionally durable and  resistant to fading or wearing off, even after hundreds of dishwasher cycles.
