Olympia Canvas Delhi Black Flat Round Plate 180mm (Pack of 6)

The Olympia Canvas Delhi Black is a 180mm flat stoneware plate finished with a reactive black glaze and a contrasting unglazed rim. Each piece is fired individually, meaning the glaze shifts slightly in tone and texture from plate to plate — a characteristic of the reactive process rather than a quality inconsistency. The result is a plate with some visual individuality, which suits operators looking to add a degree of distinctiveness to their table presentation.

The flat profile gives a broad, open surface for plating, making it well suited to dishes where presentation is a deliberate part of the offer — tasting menus, small plates, or considered à la carte service. The dark glaze provides good contrast against pale ingredients, sauces, and garnishes. The unglazed rim adds a tactile, handcrafted quality that works with both rustic and contemporary cover styles.

From a practical standpoint, stoneware of this type is reasonably robust in a professional setting, though it warrants the same considered handling as any mid-weight ceramic in a busy service environment. A few things worth noting for front-of-house operations:

• Stoneware construction — handles commercial dishwasher cycles with appropriate care
• Flat base provides a stable platform for intricate plating work
• Reactive glaze means minor tonal variation between pieces — intentional by design
• Unglazed rim adds texture and a handmade aesthetic
• Supplied in a pack of six, suited to smaller cover counts or supplementing existing sets

The 180mm diameter works best as a starter, small plate, or dessert plate rather than a main cover. For operators needing a full table setting, the Canvas Delhi Black range includes complementary pieces. This pack size of six suits smaller operations or those trialling the range before committing to larger quantities.

If you're unsure whether the diameter, pack size, or glaze finish is the right fit for your service style, we're happy to talk it through.
