Product Description
The Olympia Canvas Flat Plate is a 180mm stoneware plate designed to give chefs a broad, level surface for precise plating. The Sienna Rust colourway has a warm, earthy tone that works well with a wide range of cuisines — from sharing plates and small courses to main dishes where presentation matters. Each plate features an unglazed edge, which frames the food cleanly without competing with it.
Because the glaze is reactive during firing, no two plates come out of the kiln identical. In practice, this means a table of six covers will carry subtly different pieces — which tends to read as considered and artisanal rather than mismatched, particularly in restaurants and bistros where atmosphere and plate presentation are part of the offer. The stoneware construction gives the plates a solid feel in service and holds up well to the stacking and handling that comes with a busy section.
A few practical points worth noting for service use:
- Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation — consistent within the range, not identical piece to piece
- Unglazed rim requires careful stacking to avoid surface marking over time
- Stoneware is robust for service but heavier than porcelain equivalents
- Sold in packs of six — factor cover counts and breakage rates when calculating order quantities
- The flat profile suits plated starters, mains, and sharing formats equally well
These plates suit restaurants, bistros, and hospitality venues where presentation is a deliberate part of the dining experience. The 180mm size works well as a starter or side plate, though some operators use it as a main plate for lighter dishes or tasting menus. For operations needing a larger plating surface, other sizes are available within the Canvas range.
If you're putting together a full table setting or want to discuss quantities, glaze variation, or how the Canvas range works alongside other pieces, we're happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Because the glaze reacts to heat during kiln firing, each plate will differ slightly in tone and pattern — this is inherent to the process rather than a quality issue. Within a pack the variation is typically subtle, sitting within the same warm Sienna Rust palette, so plates read as a cohesive set at the table rather than mismatched.
- At 180mm, this plate works most naturally as a starter, side, or sharing plate in a conventional service format. Some operators do use it as a main plate on lighter tasting menus or for smaller portions, but for a standard main course with full garnish you may find the plating surface limiting. If you need a larger format, other sizes within the Canvas range are worth considering.
- The plates are suitable for commercial dishwasher use, but the unglazed rim can show wear marks over time if plates are stacked heavily or handled roughly during clearing. Stacking with care and using appropriate plate dollies or sleeves where possible will help preserve the edge finish. As with most stoneware, avoiding extreme thermal shock — such as putting cold plates straight into a very hot dishwasher cycle — will extend their service life.
