Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle, a popular café in York, wanted to refresh its tableware to better reflect its high-quality, locally-sourced menu. They replaced their generic white saucers with the Olympia Kiln Smoke range to add more personality to their coffee service.

"The moment we switched, our coffee presentation looked so much more premium. Customers constantly comment on the lovely crockery. They feel robust, they wash brilliantly, and  the unique finish on each one is a great talking point. It was a small change that made a huge difference to our ambience."

Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle

The investment in new restaurant crockery saucer 160mm plates directly contributed to a more polished customer experience, helping to boost their social media tags and  mentions by 20% in the first quarter.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack carefully and  inspect each saucer for any transit damage.
  • Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher or by hand before their first use.
  • Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent watermarks.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent scratches, lift saucers when unstacking rather than sliding them.
  • Although durable, avoid using abrasive scourers which can dull the glaze over time.
  • The vitrified material is dishwasher safe for easy and  hygienic cleaning.
  • Regularly check for any damage – the lifetime edge-chip warranty has you covered!

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what crockery fits your business's vibe? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your tableware.

Prioritise Durability

Look for vitrified porcelain and  features like an edge-chip warranty. It costs more upfront but saves a fortune in replacement costs down the line.

Match Your Aesthetic

Your crockery is part of your brand. A rustic plate like this commercial ceramic saucer from Olympia works for artisan spots, whereas fine dining might require something more minimalist.

Think About Storage

Are the pieces stackable? Well-designed crockery should stack securely and  neatly, saving you valuable shelf space in a busy kitchen.

Check for Practicality

Ensure your chosen crockery is dishwasher and  microwave safe. This is non-negotiable for saving time and  labour in a professional kitchen.

Consider the Whole Family

Does the range include matching cups, bowls, and  plates? Buying into a collection ensures a consistent, professional look across your entire service.

What is a 'Reactive Glaze' and  Why Does It Matter?

Ever wondered why no two Olympia Kiln saucers are exactly the same? The secret is the 'reactive glaze'. Unlike a standard, uniform paint job, a reactive glaze contains special minerals that react and  transform in the heat of the kiln. This chemical reaction creates unique, beautiful patterns, textures, and  colour variations on the surface of the porcelain.

Think of it like the natural grain in a piece of wood – it’s a mark of authenticity. It means that while every Olympia Kiln smoke saucer is part of the same family, each one has its own individual character. This is why they feel so special and  handcrafted, giving you a 'bespoke' look without the bespoke price tag.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Artisan Coffee Shops: This Olympia smoke saucer for cafe use adds an authentic, rustic feel to your speciality lattes and  cappuccinos.
  • Boutique Hotels: Elevate your in-room service or breakfast offering with crockery that feels luxurious and  considered.
  • Modern Bistros: Complement your creative dishes with tableware that shares the same handcrafted, high-quality ethos.
  • Farm Shop Cafés: The earthy tones and  robust build are a perfect match for a countryside setting serving wholesome food.
