- Stunning & Strong: The Kiln chalk finish is gorgeous and it’s surprisingly resilient for daily use.
- Slight Variations: The hand-finished nature means colours might differ slightly between production batches.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Courtyard Brasserie in Bath was looking to upgrade its tableware to better reflect its modern, rustic culinary style. Their standard white ramekins felt clinical and were prone to chipping, detracting from the overall dining experience.
"We invest so much into our ingredients and presentation, and our old dipping pots were letting the side down. These Olympia Kiln pots were exactly what we needed. They have character and our customers have even commented on how lovely they are."
Robert Finch – Proprietor
Since the switch, the brasserie has seen a significant drop in crockery replacement costs and feels the commercial ceramic dipping pot now perfectly complements their brand aesthetic.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and check each pot for any transit damage.
- Give them a good wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing and packing.
- That's it! They are now ready to be filled with your delicious creations and sent out to your customers.
Keeping It Going
- These pots are fully commercial dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
- To prolong their life and prevent scuffing, stack them carefully with others from the Olympia Kiln range.
- The porcelain is microwave-safe for reheating sauces, but avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a freezer straight to a hot oven).
- In the unlikely event of a rim chip during normal service, remember your Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty for a replacement.

Explore more from OlympiaThe Magic of a Reactive Glaze: Why Every Pot is Unique
Ever wondered what 'reactive glaze' actually means? It's a fantastic technique used in pottery that makes each piece one-of-a-kind. During firing in the kiln, special minerals within the glaze react to the intense heat, creating subtle, unique patterns, textures, and colour tones across the surface. It's not a flaw or an inconsistency – it's a deliberate and beautiful feature.
Think of it a bit like the grain in a piece of oak or the pattern in a slice of marble; no two are ever identical. This process gives each kiln chalk dipping pot 50ml its own distinct personality, transforming it from a simple piece of crockery into a small work of art that adds an authentic, artisan touch to your tables.
