Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Chia Plates in green are an excellent choice for restaurateurs and home hosts who want a sophisticated, earthy aesthetic without sacrificing durability. These 205mm plates offer a distinctive look thanks to their reactive glaze, providing a unique touch to every plating presentation. While the reactive glaze creates a stunning, one-of-a-kind finish, users should note that the slight color variations inherent in the manufacturing process mean no two plates will look exactly identical.

FAQs
Are these plates dishwasher safe?
Yes, they are fully dishwasher safe and designed for the repeated cleaning cycles required in commercial kitchens.
What does the lifetime edge-chip warranty cover?
It covers chips that occur on the edge of the plate during normal, intended commercial or home use.
Why do the colors look slightly different between plates?
The reactive glaze reacts differently depending on its position in the kiln, which is a deliberate design feature that gives each plate a unique, artisanal appearance.
Can I use these in the oven?
While they are microwave safe, they are not classified as oven-safe cookware. Avoid exposing them to direct heat or high oven temperatures.
What is the diameter of these plates?
These plates measure 205mm, making them an ideal size for side dishes, starters, or desserts.
Troubleshooting
Water spots after dishwashing
Ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up and remove plates as soon as the cycle ends to prevent air-dry spotting.
Surface marks appearing
Dark marks are often caused by metal cutlery rubbing against the glaze; use a mild porcelain cleaner or a non-abrasive paste to remove these marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity of your Olympia Chia plates, follow these care guidelines:
- Dishwasher Use: The plates are dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to space them correctly in the rack to prevent clinking and potential surface abrasion.
- Microwave Safety: These are safe for standard microwave use; however, avoid extreme thermal shock by not moving them directly from a freezer to a hot microwave.
- Storage: Stack the plates carefully. Despite the edge-chip warranty, avoid dragging plates across one another to keep the surface glaze pristine.
- Handling: When removing from a hot oven or microwave, always use protective gear as porcelain retains heat.
