FAQs
Is the Olympia Kiln Dipping Pot safe for the oven?
While the pot is microwave safe and vitrified for heat resistance, it is primarily intended for cold or microwaved service; check specific temperature limits before placing in high-heat ovens.
Does the pot have a lifetime warranty?
Yes, this model includes a lifetime edge-chip warranty, covering the product against chipping under normal professional use conditions.
Are all pots identical in color?
No, because the pots feature a reactive glaze and hand-painted rims, each piece will have subtle variations, which is part of their artisanal design.
What does BS4034 standard mean?
BS4034 is the British Standard for vitrified hotelware, meaning the pottery has low water absorption and high mechanical strength.
Can I get this pot in other colors?
Yes, the Olympia Kiln range is available in several colors including green, white, cream, and blue.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn food residue sticking to the glaze
Soak in warm, soapy water for 15 minutes before placing in the dishwasher to soften residue.
Minor scratches appearing on the surface
Avoid using metal cutlery inside the pot; use wooden or plastic spreaders to preserve the finish.

Care Instructions:
