- Cons: Its simple, classic white design might be too basic for venues wanting unique tableware.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tearoom in York was struggling with constant breakages and chipping from their previous, cheaper earthenware. They needed a more robust and space-efficient solution for their incredibly busy afternoon tea service without compromising on a classic look.
"We were replacing saucers almost weekly, which was both costly and frustrating. Since we switched to the Olympia Linear saucers six months ago, we haven't had a single chip. They look fantastic and stack so neatly, which has freed up a whole shelf in our compact kitchen."
Robert Davies – Owner
The switch resulted in a near-total elimination of replacement costs for saucers and significantly improved the efficiency of their wash-up and storage process.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give all saucers a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Carefully unpack and inspect each saucer for any unlikely damage that may have occurred during shipping.
- Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for your new stackable cafe saucers to maximise their space-saving benefit.
Keeping It Going
- When loading into a dishwasher, avoid overcrowding the racks to ensure a thorough clean and prevent knocking.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), such as taking a hot saucer from the oven and placing it on a cold, wet surface.
- Stack them neatly by aligning the edges. The stackable design is stable, but avoid creating towers that are too high and unstable.
- Although highly durable, always handle with care. Avoid sliding them across rough surfaces which could scratch the glazed footring over time.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than Just China: What 'Fully Vitrified' Really Means for Your Business
You see 'fully vitrified' on a lot of professional crockery, but what is it? Think of it like turning a sponge into a solid piece of glass. Standard pottery can be slightly porous, meaning it can absorb tiny amounts of moisture, oils, and tannins from tea and coffee over time. This leads to stubborn stains and can even harbour bacteria.
Vitrification is a process where the porcelain is fired at an extremely high temperature until the clay body fuses and becomes completely non-porous (or 'vitrified'). The result is a saucer that's not only incredibly strong but also highly resistant to stains and much more hygienic. Spills wipe off without a trace, and there's nowhere for germs to hide, making cleaning faster and more effective. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to food safety and long-term appearance.
