- Cons: The lid is loose, so it needs to be held down for the final dregs.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Bakehouse in Stow-on-the-Wold was looking to upgrade its mismatched and frequently chipped teapots. They needed something that reflected their classic Cotswolds charm but could withstand a relentless stream of customers and daily commercial washing.
"We were tired of our teapots looking worn and tired. The Olympia U822 teapots are fantastic; they have that timeless look but are incredibly resilient. They go through the dishwasher multiple times a day and still look brand new. A brilliant investment."
Robert Davies – Proprietor
Since switching, the bakehouse has reported a 40% reduction in crockery breakages and replacement costs within six months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, always inspect each teapot for any transit damage before first use.
- Give them a thorough wash in a commercial dishwasher to remove any dust from manufacturing or packaging.
- For the best customer experience, pre-warm the teapot with hot water before filling with tea.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent staining from strong tannins in tea, rinse teapots soon after use before washing.
- Avoid using harsh metal scourers, as they can scratch the glaze over time. A soft cloth or brush is best.
- Stack carefully with lids removed to prevent chipping the spouts or rims.
- Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes (e.g., from a freezer directly to a hot oven) to prevent thermal shock.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy 'Fully Vitrified' Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'vitrified' actually means? In simple terms, it's a process where the porcelain is fired at an incredibly high temperature. This fuses the clay particles together, turning them into a single, glass-like, non-porous layer. Think of the difference between a terracotta pot and a glazed tile. The terracotta (like standard ceramic) can absorb water and stains, making it weaker. The glazed tile (like this vitrified teapot) is completely sealed. For a commercial teapot, this means two things: it won't absorb the flavours or colours of strong tea, so every brew tastes fresh, and it’s far more resistant to the chips, cracks, and thermal shock from a hot dishwasher. It's the secret sauce that gives this commercial white teapot 483ml its strength.
