Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Rooms in Harrogate needed to replace their assortment of mismatched, frequently chipped milk jugs to create a more cohesive and professional look for their popular afternoon tea service.
"We were constantly throwing away chipped jugs, which looked terrible and felt wasteful. Since switching to the Olympia CL114 set, our breakages have plummeted. They look smart, they survive the dishwasher without a scratch, and they’re just incredibly reliable. It’s one less thing for us to worry about."
Robert Davies – Manager
The switch resulted in a 70% reduction in crockery replacement costs within the first six months and significantly improved table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each jug for any transit damage.
- Always give the jugs a thorough wash in a dishwasher or with hot, soapy water before their first use.
- When storing, avoid stacking them too high or nesting them tightly, as this can put pressure on the rims.
Keeping It Going
- These jugs are fully safe for use in commercial dishwashers.
- For any stubborn stains (which are rare on vitrified porcelain), a non-abrasive cream cleaner is effective.
- Avoid using metal scourers or harsh abrasives, as this can scratch the glaze over time.
- Regularly check the spouts and handles for any hairline cracks or chips and remove from service if damaged.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Vitrified' Actually Means for Your Busy Kitchen
You'll often see 'vitrified porcelain' mentioned, but what does it really mean? In simple terms, it’s a process where the jug is fired at an extremely high temperature. This fuses the clay particles together, turning the material from something porous (like a terracotta pot) into a solid, non-porous form with a moisture absorption rate of less than 0.5%.
Think of it like this: a regular ceramic plate is like a hard sponge, it can still slowly absorb tiny amounts of water, grease, and odours over time, which can lead to stains and weakness. This vitrified jug, however, is more like a piece of glass. It’s completely sealed. This means it’s far more hygienic, won't get stained by dark coffee or tea, and is much, much tougher against chips and cracks from daily knocks. That's the science behind its brilliant durability.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés: Perfect for serving just the right amount of milk with Americanos, flat whites, or pots of tea.
- Hotels & Guest Houses: An elegant and durable choice for breakfast service or in-room beverage trays.
- Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for presenting individual portions of cream, jus, or salad dressings alongside main courses.
- Afternoon Tea Venues: The classic white design perfectly complements tiered stands and traditional tea sets for a timeless look.
