Kiln

How to choose the right Olympia Kiln Crockery

• Start by matching cup capacities to your drinks menu, from compact espresso cups to larger cappuccino and latte sizes.
• Consider which Kiln colours best suit your brand and interior, whether earthy Moss and Sandstone or cooler Ocean and Smoke tones.
• Check that saucer diameters pair correctly with your chosen cups and leave enough space for spoons, sugar and biscuits.
• Plan storage by opting for stackable cup and saucer designs if you have limited shelf or back bar space.
• Think about service style: choose more robust, thicker pieces for high-volume cafes and lighter options for boutique or hotel lounge service.
• Allow for future expansion by selecting a core colour and style that can be easily added to as your business grows.

Care and maintenance

• Wash Olympia Kiln Crockery in a commercial dishwasher using non-abrasive detergents to protect the reactive glazes.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks by not moving items directly from freezer to oven or from very hot to very cold environments.
• Use plastic or rubber-coated racks and separators to minimise edge contact and reduce the risk of chipping.
• Inspect cups, saucers and jugs regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged items from service for safety and presentation.
• Stack cups and saucers carefully following the manufacturer’s guidance to prevent pressure points and surface scratching.
• Rotate stock in daily use so wear is spread evenly across the range and colours age consistently over time.

Pair your Olympia Kiln Crockery with complementary plates, bowls, cutlery and table presentation pieces from our wider crockery and tableware collections.
