Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'vitrified hotelware' mean?
A: It means the porcelain is fired at a very high temperature, which makes it incredibly strong, non-porous, and resistant to the chips and thermal shock common in a commercial environment.
Q: Are these cups stackable?
A: Yes, they can be stacked. However, we recommend stacking them with care to protect the unique hand-painted rims and glaze.
Q: Will the colour be exactly the same on every cup?
A: Due to the nature of the reactive glaze, there will be beautiful, subtle variations in the blue finish and pattern. This is an intended feature that makes each piece unique.
Q: What is the capacity of this 340ml restaurant cappuccino cup?
A: The 340ml (or 12oz) capacity is a 'brim-full' measurement, providing a generous serving size for large hot beverages.
Q: Do I have to buy saucers separately?
A: Yes, saucers are sold separately. These cups are designed to fit any of the Olympia Kiln 160mm saucers (GP333, GP349, GP365, GP481).
Q: Can I use metal spoons in these cups?
A: Yes, of course. The glaze is tough enough for everyday use with standard cutlery without scratching.
Q: Is the material closer to stoneware or porcelain?
A: The cup has the rustic look and feel of stoneware, but the core material is actually vitrified porcelain, giving you the best of both worlds: artisan aesthetics and commercial-grade strength.
Q: What does BS4034 compliance mean?
A: This is a British Standard that certifies the tableware has passed rigorous tests for durability, including impact resistance and dishwasher safety, making it suitable for hospitality use.
The Olympia Kiln Collection: Artisan Charm, Commercial Muscle
Choosing tableware is about more than just finding something to serve food and drink in; it's an investment in your brand's story. The Olympia Kiln collection brilliantly bridges the gap between a unique, artisan aesthetic and the uncompromising demands of a professional kitchen. While the reactive glaze and hand-painted rims create a memorable, 'Instagram-worthy' customer experience, the vitrified porcelain body provides the backbone. This isn't fragile art pottery; it's commercial-grade equipment certified to the BS4034 standard for hotelware. This means fewer chips, fewer cracks, and fewer replacements over time, leading to a lower total cost of ownership. By choosing Olympia Kiln, you are investing in consistency, durability, and an identity that will have customers talking long after they've finished their coffee.
Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two cups in the Kiln collection look identical? That's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. It isn't just a colour, but a special type of glaze packed with different minerals that react to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This reaction creates unique, often subtle, variations in pattern, colour, and texture across the surface of each cup.
Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of oak or the veining in a slab of marble – it's a completely organic process. This is how the Olympia Kiln collection achieves that desirable, handcrafted look of studio pottery, while still being made with the strength and precision of commercially produced, vitrified porcelain. It gives you character and charm, without sacrificing an ounce of durability.
