Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Potter's Wheel Bistro," a cosy eatery in the heart of Sheffield, was looking to move away from generic white crockery to something that better matched their rustic, home-cooked menu.
"We needed tableware with more personality that could still be thrown in the dishwasher a dozen times a day without worry. The Olympia Kiln mugs were the perfect find; they look the part and are built to last."
Michael Davies – Owner, The Potter's Wheel Bistro
The switch has been a huge hit, with many customers commenting on the new mugs. More importantly, after four months of constant use, there have been no chips or breakages, proving their durability in a busy commercial environment.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, give all mugs a good wash with detergent before their first use.
- Carefully inspect each piece for any unlikely signs of damage during transit.
- Stack with care on your shelves, using shelf liners to prevent scuffing and prolong their life.
- Ensure they fit comfortably under your coffee machine's portafilter or water dispenser.
Keeping It Going
- These mugs are fully safe for use in any commercial dishwasher.
- To prevent stubborn 'spoon marks', always use high-quality 18/10 stainless steel cutlery.
- Although tough, try to avoid extreme and sudden temperature changes (like freezer to hot oven).
- A periodic soak in a gentle de-staining solution can help remove any stubborn tea or coffee tannins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all the mugs in a box identical?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! The reactive glaze process ensures each mug has a slightly unique finish and pattern.
Q: What exactly does 'vitrified' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired to a very high temperature, making it glass-like, non-porous, and far more durable and hygienic than standard ceramic.
Q: Can I use these mugs in the microwave?
A: Yes, absolutely. They are completely safe for microwave use, making them perfect for reheating drinks.
Q: Is the 340ml size measured to the very top?
A: Yes, commercial crockery capacity is typically measured 'to the brim'. Your serving volume for a coffee or tea will be slightly less.
Q: Are the hand-painted rims delicate?
A: Not at all. The entire mug, including the rim, is vitrified and sealed under a tough glaze, ensuring it's just as durable as the rest of the body.
Q: Will they stain easily from strong tea or coffee?
A: Because vitrified porcelain is non-porous, it is highly resistant to staining. Regular washing in a dishwasher will keep them looking their best.
Q: What is the BS4034 standard?
A: It is a British quality standard for professional tableware. It tests for durability, water absorption levels, and resistance to chipping to ensure a product is fit for hotel and restaurant use.
Q: Does the sandstone finish feel rough?
A: It has a pleasant, subtle texture that adds to its character, but it's perfectly smooth for comfortable drinking and is glazed for easy cleaning.
The Olympia Kiln Promise: Artisan Style, Commercial Strength
Choosing the Olympia Kiln range is about more than just buying crockery; it's a conscious decision to invest in your business's atmosphere.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two mugs in this set are identical? That's the magic of a 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze is packed with different minerals and oxides. When the mug is fired in the kiln at incredibly high temperatures, these elements 'react' with the heat, melting and flowing to create unique patterns, colours, and textures. Think of it like a perfectly controlled firework display on a ceramic surface. This process ensures that every Olympia GP334 ceramic coffee mug has its own distinct personality, giving you a truly artisan, hand-finished look with the professional quality and consistency you can rely on.
