Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular bistro in the heart of The Lanes, Brighton, was looking to refresh its tableware to better reflect its creative, seaside-inspired menu. They felt their old white plates were functional but lacked personality and didn't do justice to the presentation of their signature seafood dishes.
"We wanted our plates to be part of the dining experience, not just a vehicle for the food. The moment we saw this smoke grey round serving plate, we knew it was the one. The colour is fantastic and the unique finish gets comments from customers all the time. It just feels special."
Samuel Jones – Owner
Since introducing the Olympia stoneware serving dish for their starters and specials, the bistro has seen a significant uplift in customer-generated photos on social media, enhancing their online presence without any extra marketing spend.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each platter for any signs of damage during transit.
- Give all pieces a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to ensure they are pristine for service.
- If serving hot food, consider pre-warming the platters in a plate warmer to help maintain food temperature.
- Plan your storage area, noting that the unique shape may require more careful stacking than standard circular plates.
Keeping It Going
- This platter is fully safe for use in commercial dishwashers, making for a fast and efficient clean-up.
- To protect the beautiful glazed surface, avoid using harsh metal scourers or abrasive cleaning powders.
- The vitrified, non-porous body is highly resistant to staining from rich sauces, dressings, or colourful spices.
- Rest easy knowing your purchase is covered by a lifetime edge-chip warranty for normal hospitality use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is every single platter identical in appearance?
A: No, and that's the beauty of it. The reactive glaze process means that each platter has a unique pattern and finish, so every piece is one-of-a-kind.
Q: What exactly does 'vitrified porcelain' mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature, which makes it non-porous, exceptionally strong, and resistant to moisture and thermal shock.
Q: What does the BS4034 standard signify?
A: It is a British Standard for vitrified hotelware, which certifies that the product has a very low water absorption rate and high resistance to chipping, making it suitable for professional use.
Q: Can I use this Olympia HC377 serving plate in a microwave?
A: Yes, it is completely safe for use in a microwave, which is handy for gently reheating food.
Q: How robust is the lifetime edge-chip warranty?
A: It covers chipping on the rim of the platter that occurs during normal food service, storage, and washing, for the entire life of the product.
Q: Is the glaze food safe?
A: Absolutely. All Olympia Kiln glazes are lead-free and fully compliant with all food safety standards.
Q: How many platters come in one box?
A: This product is supplied in a box quantity of four platters.
Q: Does the hand-painted rim wear off in the dishwasher?
A: No, the rim is painted before the final firing and glazing, sealing it under a protective layer. It is designed to withstand repeated commercial dishwashing.

Explore more from Olympia KilnWhat is a 'Reactive Glaze' and Why Does It Matter?
Ever wondered why no two of these round stoneware platter 335mm plates look identical? That’s the magic of a reactive glaze. Unlike a standard, uniform colour, a reactive glaze is formulated with special minerals and elements that, well, *react* to the intense heat of the kiln during the firing process. This reaction is slightly different every single time.
Think of it like baking a cake. You can use the exact same ingredients and oven temperature, but each cake will have its own unique pattern of cracks and browning on top. Similarly, the kiln's heat makes the minerals in the glaze flow and settle in unique ways, creating subtle, one-of-a-kind patterns, textures, and colour variations. This means you're not just buying a mass-produced plate; you’re getting a piece of tableware with its own individual character, giving your service a genuinely artisanal and exclusive feel.
