Olympia Ember

The Olympia Ember coupe bowls are porcelain tableware finished in a reactive blue and brown glaze that produces natural variation in tone across each piece — no two bowls look identical. The effect references ash, charcoal, and oxidised metal, giving the range a tactile, earthy character that sits well in casual dining, all-day café, and gastropub environments. These bowls are sold in packs of four.

In a busy front-of-house setting, consistency and durability matter as much as appearance. Porcelain is a practical choice for commercial table service — it holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles and handles the demands of daily cover service without the finish degrading quickly. The Ember range carries a lifetime edge-chip warranty, which reflects a reasonable level of confidence in the construction for standard service use.

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation across each piece
• Stackable profile supports efficient back-of-house storage
• Unglazed foot reduces movement on trays and during stacking
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward daily cleaning
• Lifetime edge-chip warranty included as standard

These bowls are best suited to operators who want a textured, artisan aesthetic without moving away from conventional porcelain. The 200mm diameter works well for starter portions, desserts, or small sharing dishes. For operations requiring a larger bowl — for mains or generous portions — it is worth checking whether the Ember range offers a larger coupe size before committing to a full table cover order.

If you are specifying tableware across a full dining room or building a new cover set and want to talk through quantities, sizing, or how the Ember range fits alongside other pieces, the team is happy to help.

The Olympia Ember triangle bowls are porcelain serving bowls finished in a reactive blue and brown glaze that produces natural variation in colour and tone across each piece. The effect — reminiscent of ash, charcoal and oxidised metal — means no two bowls look identical, which works well in settings where a handcrafted or artisan aesthetic is part of the dining experience. They are supplied in packs of four.

In day-to-day service, porcelain of this weight handles the routine demands of a busy cover operation reasonably well. The reactive glaze is applied to the upper surfaces, with an unglazed foot ring that improves stability when stacking and helps prevent bowls sliding on smooth surfaces during plating. Stackability keeps storage straightforward in a tight pass or prep area.

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation across each piece
• Unglazed foot ring aids stability when stacking and during service
• Dishwasher safe for routine service turnaround
• Lifetime edge-chip warranty included as standard
• Porcelain construction suitable for everyday commercial use

The lifetime edge-chip warranty is worth noting for operators buying tableware at volume — edge chipping is the most common cause of tableware write-off in commercial kitchens, and a warranty against it offers some protection to your replacement budget over time.

The Ember range suits gastropubs, casual dining, and all-day dining operations with a rustic or industrial aesthetic. It is less suited to formal fine-dining covers where a more refined, uniform finish would be expected. If you are building out a full table setting, the Ember range includes complementary pieces across plates, bowls and serving items. If you need guidance on quantities for a particular cover count, or want to discuss the full range, the team is happy to assist.

The Olympia Ember coupe plates are 230mm porcelain plates finished in a reactive blue and brown glaze that produces natural variation across each piece. Because the glaze reacts differently during firing, no two plates look identical — which suits settings where a handcrafted or artisan aesthetic is part of the dining experience. The coupe profile means no raised rim, giving a clean, contemporary presentation.

In day-to-day service, porcelain at this weight handles the knocks of a busy pass reasonably well, and the unglazed foot reduces the risk of plates sliding when stacked. The lifetime edge-chip warranty from Olympia reflects a level of confidence in the durability of the material, though as with all tableware, careful handling during clearing and washing will extend the working life of the collection considerably.

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation across the range
• Dishwasher safe, reducing turnaround time during busy service
• Stackable design supports practical back-of-house storage
• Unglazed foot helps prevent slipping when plates are stacked
• Lifetime edge-chip warranty included as standard

These plates are well suited to gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, all-day cafés, and any operation looking for tableware that sits comfortably in a rustic or industrial interior scheme. For higher-volume operations running multiple sittings, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity better suits your cover count and wash cycle frequency.

If you are building out a full table setting or want to check how the Ember range coordinates across plate sizes and serving pieces, the team is happy to help you plan a cohesive selection.

The Olympia Ember triangle plates are part of a porcelain tableware range designed around a reactive glaze finish that produces natural variation across each piece — earthy blue and brown tones that evoke ash, oxidised metal, and raw texture. Because the glaze reacts during firing, no two plates are identical, which suits venues looking for a hand-finished aesthetic without the fragility or cost of artisan ceramics.

In practice, these plates work well across a range of service styles. The triangular form makes them useful for sharing plates, sides, or composed starters where a standard round plate would feel ordinary. The unglazed foot provides a degree of stability on both trays and service surfaces, and the plates stack cleanly, which matters when storage space behind the pass is limited.

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation across each plate
• Unglazed foot reduces the risk of slipping during plating and service
• Stackable profile helps keep storage organised during busy service periods
• Dishwasher safe, simplifying end-of-service cleaning routines
• Backed by a lifetime edge-chip warranty from the manufacturer

These are porcelain plates rather than stoneware or melamine, so they carry the weight and feel that most front-of-house teams and guests expect from a mid-to-upper casual dining setting. Gastropubs, wine bars, and all-day dining operations with a rustic or industrial interior tend to get the most from the Ember aesthetic. They are less suited to high-turnover canteen environments where durability under constant heavy stacking is the overriding concern.

If you are building out a full table setting or need guidance on matching pieces within the Ember range, the team is happy to talk through what works well together before you commit to quantities.

The Olympia Ember triangle plates are porcelain tableware pieces finished in a reactive blue and brown glaze that produces natural variation across each piece — no two plates look identical. The angular shape and earthy tones make these plates a practical choice for operators looking to add visual character to their table settings without relying on overly decorative ware.

In service, porcelain of this weight handles the daily demands of a busy dining environment well. The unglazed foot ring reduces sliding when plates are stacked or placed on prep surfaces, and the stackable profile keeps storage compact and orderly during both service and clearing. They are dishwasher safe, which matters when covers are high and turnaround is quick.

• Reactive glaze creates natural variation — suits rustic, industrial, and gastropub settings
• Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround during busy service
• Stackable profile keeps storage tidy and reduces breakage risk
• Unglazed foot helps prevent slipping on surfaces and in stacks
• Backed by a lifetime edge-chip warranty for added confidence in daily use

These plates are well suited to all-day dining operations, dinner service, and pub kitchens where presentation matters but practicality cannot be compromised. The 308mm size works across a range of main course presentations. Operators running very high covers may want to consider how reactive-glaze ware performs over time under intensive dishwasher cycling — the finish is robust, but it is worth factoring into purchasing volume decisions.

If you are building out a full table setting or matching to existing Ember pieces, the team are happy to help you work through quantities and complementary items in the range.

The Olympia Ember dipping dishes are small porcelain dishes designed for serving condiments, dips, sauces, or small accompaniments at the table. At 78mm in diameter, they are a practical size for individual portions and sit comfortably alongside main plates or sharing boards without crowding the cover.

The Ember range is finished with a reactive glaze that produces natural variation across each piece — tones of blue, brown, and grey that suggest ash and oxidised surfaces. Because the glaze reacts differently during firing, no two dishes are identical, which suits settings that favour a less uniform, more organic table aesthetic. The range works well in gastropubs, rustic restaurants, and industrial-style dining rooms, as well as any operation looking to move away from plain white tableware.

From an operational standpoint, these dishes are straightforward to manage in a busy service environment:

• Stackable for compact storage and efficient mise en place
• Dishwasher safe for fast turnaround between covers
• Unglazed foot reduces the risk of slipping on smooth surfaces
• Porcelain construction is durable under regular commercial use
• Covered by a lifetime edge-chip warranty from Olympia

The lifetime edge-chip warranty is worth noting for operators who put tableware through high-volume daily washing — it provides a degree of cover that is not always standard across ranges at this price point.

These dishes are well suited to smaller operations or those with moderate covers who want consistent, characterful tableware without the complexity of a full bespoke range. For higher-volume sites or operators building out a complete table setting, it is worth considering whether the wider Ember collection covers all the pieces needed.

If you are putting together a new table concept or want to check how the Ember range fits alongside other pieces you are considering, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Olympia Ember coupe bowls are part of a porcelain tableware range finished with a reactive glaze that produces natural variation in colour across each piece — tones of blue, brown, and grey that shift slightly from bowl to bowl. That inherent variation is a design feature rather than an inconsistency, and it tends to work well on tables where a rustic, earthy, or industrial aesthetic is the intention.

In service, these bowls are practical to handle and stack. The unglazed foot ring provides a degree of grip both in the hand and when stacked, which matters during a busy turnaround. The porcelain construction is robust enough for regular commercial dishwasher cycles, and Olympia backs the range with a lifetime edge-chip warranty — a useful assurance in environments where crockery takes daily knocks.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical points are:

• Reactive glaze finish produces natural colour variation across each piece
• Stackable profile supports efficient storage and mise en place
• Unglazed foot ring helps prevent slipping when stacking or serving
• Dishwasher safe for standard commercial warewasher cycles
• Lifetime edge-chip warranty covers the most common form of service damage

These bowls suit all-day dining, starter and dessert courses, and sharing-plate concepts. They're a reasonable fit for gastropubs, casual dining restaurants, and café environments where the visual style aligns. They're less likely to suit formal fine-dining settings where a cleaner, more uniform glaze is expected.

If you're building out a full table setting or need to match existing pieces within the Ember range, it's worth getting in touch to discuss quantities and available formats before placing an order.

The Olympia Ember triangle plates are porcelain flatware finished in a reactive blue and brown glaze that produces natural variation across each piece — no two plates look identical. The triangular form gives operators a practical alternative to standard round plates and works well for starters, sharing portions, or dessert presentation where a distinct table aesthetic matters.

Porcelain is a sensible choice for front-of-house tableware in busy services. It holds up well through repeated dishwasher cycles, resists staining from sauces and dressings, and the unglazed foot reduces movement when stacking or carrying. Olympia back the edge with a lifetime chip warranty, which is worth noting for any operation running high cover volumes where edge damage tends to accumulate over time.

• Reactive glaze produces natural colour variation across the range
• Unglazed foot aids stability when stacking and in service
• Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between covers
• Lifetime edge-chip warranty included as standard
• Stackable profile suits compact storage in busy pass areas

The triangular shape and reactive finish suit casual dining, gastropubs, and all-day dining operations looking to move away from plain white round plates without introducing fragile or high-maintenance tableware. The 250mm size works comfortably as a starter or side plate; operators planning to use it as a main plate for smaller portions should consider the presentation space carefully before committing to quantity.
