Olympia Cyprium

The Olympia Cyprium Sample Set contains a table knife, fork, and spoon from the Cyprium range, allowing operators to assess the pattern in person before placing a full order. The cutlery is made from 18/0 stainless steel with a copper-toned finish applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) technology, which bonds the colour to the surface rather than coating it conventionally. This gives the finish considerably more resistance to wear, chipping, and fading than standard electroplated alternatives.

In practice, the warm copper tone works well in settings where the table presentation is meant to feel relaxed and characterful rather than formal — casual dining rooms, gastropubs, bistros, and boutique hotels are common applications. It complements natural materials such as wood, slate, and copper or brass accents, and tends to suit environments where the aesthetic is deliberately earthy or artisan. It would feel less at home in a very contemporary or high-formal dining setting, where bright silver or black cutlery typically reads more appropriately.

The sample set is a practical step before committing to a full order. Copper-finish cutlery can read very differently under different lighting conditions and against different table linen, crockery, and surface colours. Assessing it in your own space before ordering in quantity is straightforward good practice.

Key practical points worth considering before ordering the full range:

• PVD finish provides strong durability compared to standard plated alternatives
• Suitable for commercial dishwasher use
• 18/0 stainless steel construction — magnetic and robust for daily service
• Copper-toned finish suits warm, rustic, or artisan table settings
• Sample set covers the three core pieces needed to assess the full table lay

If you're unsure whether Cyprium is the right pattern for your setting, or you'd like to discuss how it sits alongside other ranges in the Olympia catalogue, the team is happy to talk it through with you before you commit.

The Olympia Cyprium teaspoon is a standard teaspoon format finished with a copper-toned coating over an 18/0 stainless steel body. The matt copper finish gives the piece a warm, slightly vintage appearance that sits apart from conventional polished or brushed silverware, making it a practical choice for operators who want their table setting to reflect a distinct aesthetic rather than a generic look.

In day-to-day service, 18/0 stainless steel handles the rigours of a busy covers operation reliably. It is resistant to corrosion, tolerates commercial dishwasher cycles, and holds its shape under normal handling. The copper finish does require some attention over time — abrasive cloths and harsh detergents can wear the coating, so a gentle dishwasher programme is advisable to maintain appearance across the life of the cutlery.

• Adds a warm, distinctive tone to café and restaurant table settings
• Suitable for tea and coffee service, desserts, and side settings
• Compatible with commercial dishwashers on a gentle cycle
• Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for smaller covers counts or topping up existing sets

This teaspoon is well suited to independent cafés, speciality coffee shops, bistros, and casual dining venues where a non-standard table aesthetic is part of the offering. It is less suited to high-turnover operations where cutlery takes heavy punishment daily, as the copper finish will show wear faster in that environment than a plain polished alternative would.

If you are building a full table setting around the Cyprium range or matching cutlery across multiple covers, it is worth discussing quantities and the full range with us before ordering.

The Olympia Cyprium table spoon is an 18/0 stainless steel spoon finished in a warm copper tone with a matt surface. It is a standard table spoon size, supplied in packs of twelve, and is intended for front-of-house use in restaurants, cafés, or bars where the tabletop presentation is part of the overall guest experience.

In practical service terms, these spoons perform as you would expect from stainless steel cutlery — they are solid, comfortable to hold, and straightforward to handle and sort during a busy turnaround. The copper finish and matt texture are what set them apart from conventional polished silver cutlery, and that distinction tends to work well in settings where operators want the table to feel considered rather than generic.

A few points worth keeping in mind when specifying these:

• The 18/0 stainless steel construction is dishwasher safe, though as with most coloured or coated cutlery, prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or high-temperature commercial wash cycles may affect the finish over time — lower temperature cycles and milder detergents are advisable
• The copper finish suits rustic, industrial, or vintage-inspired interiors particularly well
• At 182mm in length, they sit within the standard table spoon range and are appropriate for main course or dessert use
• Supplied in packs of twelve, which allows you to order in quantities that reflect your cover count and service requirements

These spoons are best suited to independent restaurants, boutique hotels, cocktail bars, or any operator who wants to move away from conventional silver cutlery without investing in bespoke or high-cost flatware. They are not designed for high-volume canteen environments where cutlery churn and frequent replacement are a factor.

The Olympia Cyprium table fork is an 18/0 stainless steel fork finished in a distinctive copper tone with a matt surface. It sits within Olympia's Cyprium range, which is aimed at operators who want their table setting to reflect a particular aesthetic rather than default to standard chrome or satin finishes.

In practical terms, this is a standard-weight table fork suitable for everyday front-of-house service. The 18/0 steel construction is durable and straightforward to maintain through a commercial dishwasher, though operators should be aware that copper-effect finishes on cutlery can show wear over time with heavy or abrasive cleaning cycles. Gentle rack washing is advisable to preserve the finish for longer.

The Cyprium fork suits venues where the tabletop is part of the overall experience — independent restaurants, bars, bistros, or hospitality spaces with a raw, industrial, or vintage-influenced interior. It is less well suited to high-volume contract or institutional catering where longevity of finish under intensive washing is the primary concern.

Sold in packs of twelve, which works well for smaller cover counts or for topping up an existing set. For operators equipping a larger dining room or needing to stock deeper reserves, ordering in greater quantity is straightforward.

If you're unsure whether the Cyprium range fits your service style or washing setup, we're happy to talk it through before you commit to a quantity.

The Olympia Cyprium table knife is part of a copper-finish cutlery range designed to add visual character to a table setting. Constructed from 18/0 stainless steel with a matt copper-effect finish, each knife strikes a balance between a contemporary look and a warmer, vintage-influenced aesthetic that suits certain front-of-house styles well.

For operators who want their tabletop to reflect a distinct identity — independent restaurants, bistros, wine bars, or boutique hospitality venues — copper-finish cutlery is a straightforward way to differentiate the dining experience without significant investment. The matt finish tends to wear more forgivingly in service than polished alternatives, and 18/0 stainless steel holds up to regular commercial dishwashing cycles reliably enough for busy covers.

A few practical points worth considering before ordering:

• 18/0 stainless steel is serviceable for front-of-house use but less corrosion-resistant than 18/10 — factor this in if your dishwashing environment is particularly aggressive
• Copper-effect finishes can show wear over time depending on chemical exposure; check your dishwasher detergent compatibility
• Supplied in packs of 12, so order quantities should account for covers, breakage float, and wash cycle turnaround

This cutlery is best suited to independent or branded hospitality venues where the aesthetic is a deliberate part of the guest experience. It is less likely to suit high-volume contract catering or institutional environments where longevity under heavy throughput is the primary concern.
