  • Standout Style: The unique finish makes it an instant upgrade from generic white tableware.
  • Stacking Caution: Due to the unique finish, stacking requires a little care to prevent scratches.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A contemporary tapas bar in Bristol, 'El Fuego', wanted to replace their dated, plain white plates to better reflect their vibrant, modern take on Spanish cuisine. They needed something with personality that was also tough enough for a high-volume environment.

"The moment we saw the Kiln Ocean platters, we knew they were the one. They have that handcrafted feel and  the colour is just incredible. Our customers constantly comment on them, and  they make our food photos on social media look amazing."

Michael Davies – Owner, El Fuego

The investment in the Olympia Kiln platter range directly contributed to a noticeable lift in online engagement and  positive customer reviews mentioning the presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each platter for any signs of damage during transit.
  • Give them a good wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before their first use.
  • Due to the hand-finished nature, there will be variations, which is a feature of the design.

Keeping It Going

  • The platter is fully dishwasher safe, making cleanup quick and  easy.
  • To prevent thermal shock, avoid transferring the platter from a very hot oven directly to a cold surface.
  • The vitrified body is non-porous, meaning it won't absorb strong colours or flavours from food.
  • Stack carefully with protectors if possible to preserve the unique glazed surface for years to come.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure which tableware is the right fit for your establishment? Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Material Matters

Porcelain, like that used in the Olympia Kiln range, is fired at high temperatures, making it less porous and  more durable than earthenware, ideal for commercial use.

Look for Durability

A 'vitrified' body and  an 'edge-chip warranty' aren't just buzzwords. They are your best indicators of a product built to last in a professional kitchen environment.

Match Your Brand's Vibe

Your crockery is a key part of your brand's story. A rustic, colourful plate like the Kiln Ocean suits a relaxed, artisan feel, whereas classic white might suit fine dining.

Consider the Practicalities

Always check if items are dishwasher, microwave, and  oven safe. Stackability is another key factor for kitchens where space is at a premium.

Get the Size Right

Think about your portion control and  presentation style. This large serving platter is great for mains or sharing dishes, but you'll need complementary sizes for a full service.

A: Yes, absolutely. They are designed for commercial use and  can withstand repeated cycles in a commercial dishwasher.

Q: Can I use the Kiln Platter in a microwave?

A: Yes, this platter is suitable for use in a microwave, making it versatile for reheating.

Q: What does 'reactive glaze' actually mean?

A: It's a special glazing process where minerals react to heat in the kiln, creating a unique pattern and  colour finish on every single piece.

A: It means that under normal food service use, the manufacturer guarantees the platter against chipping on its edge. It's a promise of its durability.

Q: Will the colours of all my platters match exactly?

Q: How many platters are in one box?

A: The Olympia CP171 is supplied in a box of 4 platters.

Q: What does 'Vitrified' mean?

A: Yes, the rims are finished by hand, which adds to the authentic, crafted feel of each platter and  makes every piece special.

The Magic of a Reactive Glaze: Why Every Piece is Unique

Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's not just a fancy term; it's the secret behind the unique beauty of this Kiln Ocean ceramic platter. During the firing process in the kiln, different minerals and  chemicals within the glaze react to the intense heat at different rates. This creates beautifully unpredictable patterns, colours, and  textures across the surface.

Think of it like the natural process that creates a gemstone – the unique conditions forge a one-of-a-kind result. That's why no two Olympia Kiln platters are identical. You're not just buying crockery; you're getting individual pieces of art that give your service a genuinely authentic and  bespoke character that mass-produced plates simply can't match.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Gastropubs & Bistros: Perfect for serving gourmet burgers, sharing starters, or signature main courses with rustic flair.
  • Seafood Restaurants: The stunning ocean blue colour provides the ideal backdrop for showcasing fresh fish and  shellfish.
  • Boutique Hotels: Elevates the in-room dining and  restaurant experience with a touch of bespoke, luxury tableware.
  • Artisan Cafés: Makes everything from avocado toast to decadent cakes look even more delicious and  'Instagrammable'.
