Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a traditional tea room in the heart of York, was struggling with constantly chipping and cracking crockery from their previous supplier. They needed a more robust solution that still looked classic and clean for their busy tourist trade.
"We were placing a top-up order for cups almost every month; it was a constant drain on our budget. Since switching to the Olympia U084 tea cups, they've held up beautifully. They look the part and are tough enough for our relentless pace."
Robert Green – Proprietor
The switch resulted in an immediate and noticeable improvement, reducing their quarterly crockery replacement costs by over 50%.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always give the cups a thorough wash in a dishwasher or with hot, soapy water before their first use.
- Unpack the box carefully and check each cup for any chips or cracks that may have occurred in transit.
- These are designed as stackable white tea cups 200ml, so find a sturdy, level shelf for storage close to your service point.
- If you've purchased the matching U085 saucers, unbox them at the same time to create your complete sets.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent chipping, avoid clattering the cups together and don't use them to knock out tea bags on the side of a bin.
- When stacking, avoid creating towers that are too high, as this can put pressure on the cups at the bottom.
- Although dishwasher safe, arranging them properly in the rack will ensure a better clean and prevent breakages.
- For stubborn tea or coffee stains, a soak in a mild, catering-grade destaining solution will have them looking new again.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat Does 'Fully Vitrified' Actually Mean for Your Business?
Ever wondered what 'fully vitrified' really means? It’s a simple process with a huge impact on durability. During manufacturing, the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature, causing the clay to fuse and become glass-like, or 'vitreous'. This closes up all the tiny pores in the material that you'd find in standard ceramic or earthenware.
Think of it like the difference between a sponge and a glass marble. A sponge soaks up everything, but a marble is completely sealed. Because a vitrified cup is non-porous, it won't absorb water, old coffee flavours, or detergents from the dishwasher. This makes it far more hygienic, stain-resistant, and, most importantly, much stronger and less likely to chip. It’s the secret behind crockery that lasts.
Who Should Buy This?
