Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The unique finish on each piece provides genuine, un-faked rustic character.
- Con: Its organic shape means it stacks less neatly than uniform, round plates.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Star Inn, a bustling gastropub in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, decided to overhaul its tableware to better reflect its new, modern British menu. They needed something that felt authentic and high-quality, moving away from plain white plates.
"The moment we unboxed the Olympia Kiln platters, we knew we'd made the right choice. The moss green colour makes our dishes, especially the pan-seared scallops and local game, look absolutely incredible. Our customers constantly comment on them."
Robert Clarke – Head Chef
The pub noted a distinct rise in guests photographing their meals, leading to a 30% increase in user-generated content and tags on their social media channels within the first month.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Give all platters a thorough wash in hot, soapy water or a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
- Upon delivery, check each piece to appreciate its unique finish and ensure it meets your standards.
- Plan your storage space. Due to their organic shape, they won't stack as tightly as standard round plates.
Keeping It Going
- While fully dishwasher safe, avoid overcrowding the rack to prevent items from knocking together.
- To avoid thermal shock, don't take a platter from a very high temperature (like an oven) and place it on a cold or wet surface.
- The vitrified body resists staining, but it's always best to rinse off highly pigmented foods like beetroot or turmeric after use.
- Remember, the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty covers chipping on the rim, giving you long-term confidence in its durability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are all the platters identical in colour and pattern?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! The reactive glaze process ensures that each platter has a unique pattern and subtle variations in its moss green colouring.
Q: Can I use this platter in the microwave?
A: Yes, the Olympia CP173 serving platter is completely microwave safe, making it easy to warm dishes.
Q: Is it really dishwasher safe?
A: Absolutely. It's designed for commercial dishwashers, ensuring a quick and hygienic clean-up after service.
Q: What exactly does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?
A: It covers chipping to the rim of the platter that may occur under normal food service conditions. It's a guarantee of its durability.
Q: How many platters are in one box?
A: These platters are supplied in a box of 4.
Q: What does 'vitrified porcelain' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous (so it won't absorb water, flavours or odours) and extremely durable.
Q: Is the surface smooth or textured?
A: The surface is smooth with a glossy glaze, but the reactive finish gives it a visual texture. It is not physically rough.
Q: What kind of dishes work best on this platter?
A: It's incredibly versatile! It's ideal as a large ceramic serving tray for restaurants serving everything from charcuterie and cheese boards to sharing starters, deconstructed desserts, or a line-up of canapés.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat Makes a 'Reactive Glaze' So Special?
Ever wondered why no two of these platters look exactly the same? That’s the magic of a 'reactive glaze'. It's not just a colour; it’s a chemical process. During firing in the kiln, minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat, creating unique, flowing patterns and subtle variations in colour across the surface. This means every single ceramic serving dish moss green platter has its own distinct personality.
Think of it like a natural process, such as how the sea leaves a different pattern on the sand every time the tide goes out. It’s controlled artistry rather than mass-produced uniformity, giving you a truly bespoke look for your tables without the bespoke price tag.
