Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Gull, a popular seafood restaurant in Whitby, wanted to refresh their tableware to better reflect their coastal location and commitment to high-quality, local produce. They replaced their plain white plates with the Olympia Kiln Ocean Blue platters to serve their signature fish dishes.
"The difference was immediate. The vibrant blue makes our grilled fish look incredible, and the platters feel substantial and high-quality in the customers' hands. We get so many compliments on them, and they're tough enough to handle a fully-booked Saturday night service without any issues."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since the switch, the restaurant has noted a significant increase in customer photos being shared online, boosting their social media presence organically.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each platter for any transit damage.
- Give them a thorough wash in warm, soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle before first use.
- Due to the unique glaze, take a moment to appreciate the individual character of each piece!
Keeping It Going
- These platters are dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding in the machine to prevent knocking.
- When stacking for storage, do so carefully. Placing a paper napkin or felt separator between platters can help protect the glazed surface long-term.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (like taking a platter from a freezer to a hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.
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 means each kiln platter for restaurants has a unique pattern and slight variations in the blue tones.
Q: What does 'vitrified porcelain' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous (so it won't absorb water or odours), much stronger, and more durable than standard ceramic.
Q: Can I use these platters in the microwave?
A: Yes, the Olympia CP951 platter is perfectly safe for use in a commercial microwave.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It's a guarantee from the manufacturer that the rim of the platter will not chip under normal food service use. It's a mark of high quality and durability.
Q: Are these heavy to carry?
A: Each platter weighs approximately 1kg. They have a satisfying, substantial feel without being overly heavy for service staff.
Q: Are they easy to stack and store?
A: Yes, they are designed to be stackable. As with any glazed item, stacking with care is recommended to preserve the finish over many years.
Q: What is the best way to clean them?
A: They are fully commercial dishwasher safe, so you can simply place them in your machine for a hygienic and efficient clean.
Q: Does the glaze affect the taste of food?
A: Not at all. The vitrified, non-porous surface is completely food-safe and will not impart any flavours or odours.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered how artisan pottery gets that unique, mottled pattern where no two pieces are the same? That's often thanks to a 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform glaze, a reactive glaze contains specific minerals that, well, react to the intense heat inside the kiln during firing. This reaction causes the colours and textures to melt, move, and merge in unpredictable ways.
Think of it like dropping different coloured inks onto wet paper. They'll bleed and blend together to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind pattern that you couldn't replicate exactly if you tried. For your restaurant, this means you're not just getting a mass-produced plate; you're getting a collection of unique canvases. It adds a layer of authenticity and craft that makes your food presentation feel more personal and high-end.
