- Presentation Power: The textured glaze and unique rim make even simple dishes look stunning.
- Colour Consistency: As they're hand-finished, expect slight, subtle variations between different batches.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Winding Vine, a popular gastropub in Keswick, Cumbria, wanted to replace their dated, chipped tableware to better reflect their seasonal, 'farm-to-table' menu. They chose the Olympia Kiln collection for its rustic look and commercial durability.
"The moment we started using these plates, the presentation of our food was instantly elevated. They just make the colours pop. We’ve had so many customers asking where they're from and snapping pictures for social media. They feel as good as they look."
David Chen – Head Chef
The switch to the Olympia Kiln plates contributed to a significant increase in user-generated content online, enhancing their social media presence and attracting new customers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give the plates a thorough wash with a non-abrasive detergent to remove any dust from manufacturing and transit.
- Carefully unpack and inspect each plate upon arrival to ensure they're in perfect condition.
- When stacking, place them gently on top of one another. Avoid sliding them across each other's surface to protect the glaze.
- Designate a clean, dry, and stable shelf for storage, away from heavy kitchen traffic to minimise knocks.
Keeping It Going
- These plates are dishwasher safe, but avoid overcrowding the rack to prevent items from knocking together during the cycle.
- The lifetime edge-chip warranty covers chipping on the rim during normal food service use. Simply contact us if you need to make a claim.
- Although durable, avoid using highly abrasive scouring pads, as this can dull the beautiful matte finish over time.
- To remove stubborn marks from cutlery, a high-quality porcelain cleaner is recommended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these plates all identical?
A: No, and that's their main appeal! Due to the hand-applied rim and reactive glaze, each Olympia Kiln round coupe plate 178mm has a unique finish, with subtle variations in pattern and colour.
Q: What does 'vitrified porcelain' actually mean?
A: It means the porcelain has been fired at a very high temperature, making it non-porous, incredibly strong, and resistant to moisture and thermal shock. It's the gold standard for durable commercial tableware.
Q: How does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty work?
A: It covers any chipping that occurs on the rim of the plate under normal, everyday use in a food service environment. It's Olympia's promise of durability.
Q: Can I use metal cutlery on these plates without scratching them?
A: Yes, they are designed to withstand normal use with standard stainless steel cutlery. Occasional marks can be removed with a proprietary porcelain cleaner.
Q: Do they get very hot in the microwave?
A: Like any ceramic item, they will get hot in the microwave. We always recommend handling with care after heating.
Q: What exactly is a 'coupe' plate?
A: A coupe plate is a modern, rimless style. Its gentle curve from base to edge gives you the maximum flat surface area for creative plating.
Q: Is the finish completely smooth?
A: The reactive glaze gives the surface a very subtle, tactile texture. It's not rough, but it has more character than a standard high-gloss plate.
Q: Are these plates sold individually?
A: No, the Olympia FB980 round plate is supplied in a convenient box of 6, which is ideal for professional kitchens.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat is a Reactive Glaze and Why Does it Matter?
Ever wondered how these plates get their unique, textured finish? It's all down to the 'reactive glaze'. Think of it as a special recipe for the plate's coating. During the firing process in the kiln, different minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat, creating subtle, one-of-a-kind patterns and colours. It’s a bit like how no two pieces of handcrafted wood have the exact same grain. This process ensures that every single plate has its own distinct personality, moving it away from a mass-produced feel and giving it an authentic, artisan quality that your diners will notice and appreciate.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Cafés & Bakeries: The perfect backdrop for showing off your signature cakes, gourmet sandwiches, and brunch specials.
- Gastropubs & Bistros: Superb for elevating classic dishes and complementing a rustic, locally-sourced menu aesthetic.
- Fine Dining Restaurants: An excellent choice for serving intricate appetisers, amuse-bouche, or as an elegant side plate.
- Boutique Hotels & Inns: Adds a touch of bespoke, high-end quality to the breakfast table or room service tray.
