Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Birch Wide Bowls are designed for professional chefs and restaurateurs who want to prioritize visual presentation in their dining service. These 208mm stoneware bowls feature a subtle beige internal color and a distinctive reactive glaze, making them ideal for framing artisanal plated dishes. While their high-quality construction offers a luxury feel and excellent durability, users should be aware that the reactive glaze process means each piece may exhibit slight variations in finish.

FAQs
Are these bowls suitable for commercial dishwashers?
Yes, they are designed specifically for the rigors of commercial dishwasher use.
What is the diameter of the bowl?
The total diameter of these bowls is 208mm.
Does the finish look exactly like the product photos?
Due to the reactive glaze used in manufacturing, there will be natural variations in the pattern and shade, which is intentional and part of the design.
What does the lifetime edge-chip warranty cover?
The warranty covers chips that occur on the edges of the crockery during normal commercial use.
Can I use these bowls in a standard oven?
While microwave safe, they are not intended for use in high-heat conventional ovens or broilers.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface marks after dishwashing
These are often metal transfer marks from cutlery. Use a mild ceramic cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water to gently buff the surface.
Bowl feels excessively hot after microwave use
Ensure heating cycles are adjusted for high-density stoneware; use caution when removing from the microwave and always use a cloth or mitt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These bowls require no special assembly and are ready for use immediately after a quick initial wash.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: While they are dishwasher safe, avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that could potentially dull the reactive glaze finish over time.
- Handling: Although durable, avoid stacking excessively high to minimize the risk of impact damage to the edges, despite the edge-chip warranty.
- Temperature: Avoid extreme thermal shock; do not move the bowls directly from a freezer to a preheated oven or microwave, as this can stress the stoneware material.
