Round Coupe Plates | Sandstone Ceramic Plates | 178mm Tableware | Olympia Kiln FA025

Q: What exactly does 'vitrified' mean?

A: It means the porcelain has been fired at an extremely high temperature until it becomes glass-like. This makes it non-porous (so it won't absorb flavours or odours) and  exceptionally strong.

Q: Will the hand-painted rim wear off over time?

A: No, the rim is part of the final glaze and  is fired onto the plate, making it a permanent and  durable feature of the design that won't flake or fade with washing.

Q: Is the colour completely uniform on every plate?

A: Due to the reactive glaze process, there will be subtle, unique variations in the colour and  pattern on each plate. This is a deliberate and  desirable feature that gives them their artisan character.

Q: What does the Lifetime Edge-Chip Warranty cover?

A: This warranty covers the plate against chipping on the rim during normal, everyday food service use for the entire time you own the product.

Q: Can these plates go straight from the fridge to a hot oven?

A: To ensure their longevity and  prevent thermal shock, we advise against such extreme temperature changes. It's best to let them come closer to room temperature first.

Q: How many plates are in a pack?

A: These Olympia FA025 round plates are conveniently sold in a pack of six, perfect for small updates or complete refits.

Q: What does the BS4034 standard signify?

A: This is a British Standard that certifies the tableware has very low water absorption and  is tough enough to withstand the rigours of professional hotel and  catering environments.

Q: Is the base of the plate rough?

A: No, the plates feature a fully glazed foot, which creates a smooth surface to prevent them from scratching tables or other plates when they are stacked.
