Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Granary in York decided to overhaul its tableware to better reflect its commitment to high-quality, locally-roasted coffee. They needed something that felt premium and handcrafted but could withstand the demands of a constantly busy service, seven days a week.
"Our customers really do notice the little things. Since we introduced the Kiln saucers, we've had so many lovely comments about them. They just feel right, and the unique finish on each one makes our coffee service look so much more professional and thought-out."
Michael Edwards – General Manager
The change helped reinforce their brand identity, leading to a visible increase in customer photos of their coffees being shared on social media.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Give all new saucers a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher before their first use.
- Upon delivery, unpack and inspect each piece to ensure they've arrived in perfect condition.
- Check that your espresso cups sit securely within the 57mm inner circle for a stable fit.
- Pair with other items from the Olympia Kiln range for a wonderfully cohesive look.
Keeping It Going
- These saucers are tough, but avoid scraping them with sharp metal cutlery to protect the glaze.
- When loading into a dishwasher, ensure pieces don't knock against each other to minimise impact.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes, like moving from a hot dishwasher to a cold surface, to prevent thermal shock.
- In the unlikely event of a chip on the rim, keep your proof of purchase to make use of the lifetime warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'vitrified porcelain' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, extra strong, and resistant to the thermal shock of moving from a hot dishwasher to a cool shelf.
Q: Are these Olympia porcelain saucers sold individually?
A: This particular product, SKU FB991, is sold in a pack of six saucers, which is ideal for professional settings.
Q: What is the purpose of the 57mm inner circle?
A: The indented circle is designed to hold the base of a matching espresso cup securely, preventing it from sliding around on the saucer during service.
Q: Can these be used in a heated plate warmer?
A: Yes, as they are fully vitrified and microwave safe, they can handle the gentle, consistent heat of a commercial plate warmer without any issues.
Q: Is the 'handmade' rim fragile?
A: Not at all. The hand-applied finish is purely aesthetic. The entire saucer is incredibly durable and covered by Olympia's Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty.
Q: How heavy is each individual saucer?
A: With the box of 6 weighing 1.95kg, each saucer weighs approximately 325g, giving it a quality, substantial feel without being too heavy for serving.
Q: Does the reactive glaze wear off over time?
A: No, the glaze is fused to the porcelain during firing and is designed for commercial use. It won't fade or wear off with regular washing.
Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping on the rim of the saucer that occurs during normal food service, preparation, and washing, demonstrating the brand's confidence in its durability.
The Olympia Kiln Advantage: Craftsmanship Meets Commercial Reality
Choosing Olympia Kiln tableware is about investing in a story as much as a product. For years, Olympia has mastered the art of creating crockery that delivers the visual and tactile appeal of artisan pottery, while never forgetting the harsh realities of the professional kitchen. This isn't just a pretty saucer; it's a workhorse designed for relentless cycles in the dishwasher and the occasional knock or bump. The long-term value lies in its resilience. By backing the range with a Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty, Olympia makes a clear promise: this is a product you can trust day-in, day-out. This allows you to embrace the popular and profitable 'farm-to-table' trend with confidence, knowing your investment won't just look good on day one, but will reduce replacement costs and maintain its beauty for years to come, service after service.
Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does it Matter?
Ever wondered how some pottery gets that beautiful, slightly uneven, and unique colour? That's often down to a reactive glaze. Unlike a standard, uniform coating, a reactive glaze contains different elements that react to the intense heat inside the kiln during the firing process. This reaction creates subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in colour and texture across the surface.
Think of it like the way wood has a grain – no two pieces are ever identical. For your business, this means each kiln espresso cup saucer has its own distinct personality. It's an easy way to move away from a mass-produced look and give your table settings an authentic, crafted character that tells a story and makes your presentation more memorable for every guest.
