Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Chia Dipping Dishes in Cream are ideal for restaurant owners, professional caterers, and home hosts looking to elevate their table presentation with a rustic, artisanal aesthetic. These 80mm dishes offer the sophisticated look of hand-thrown pottery while providing the robust durability of high-quality porcelain, making them perfect for serving oils, sauces, and small appetizers. While their unique waved edges and reactive speckled glaze create a charming, welcoming atmosphere, it is important to note that the hand-thrown appearance means slight variations in finish are expected, which is part of their intentional design character.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these dishes safe for commercial dishwashers?
Yes, they are fully vitrified and designed specifically for professional hotel use, making them highly resistant to industrial dishwashing cycles.
Does the speckled glaze look exactly like the product photos?
Because the reactive glaze is applied to create a hand-thrown effect, there may be slight, intentional variations in the pattern and speckling on each dish.
What does the lifetime edge-chip warranty cover?
The warranty covers chips that occur on the edges of the crockery during normal, professional use in a dining environment.
Are these dishes freezer safe?
While the porcelain is strong, sudden temperature fluctuations should be avoided to prevent thermal shock, so move them slowly between temperature zones if needed.
What is the diameter of these pots?
These specific dipping dishes have an 80mm diameter, making them ideal for small portions like sauces, oils, or sides.
Can I use these in the oven?
Yes, the porcelain construction is oven-safe, but ensure the dishes are not exposed to extreme thermal shock.
Troubleshooting
Water spots or cloudy residue after washing
Ensure your dishwasher rinse aid is topped up and the water softener is set to the correct hardness level for your area.
Stubborn sauce stains on the glaze
Soak the dish in a solution of warm water and mild detergent before using a non-abrasive sponge to gently buff the surface clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: the dishes are ready to use out of the box. Before the first service, it is recommended to run them through a standard dishwasher cycle to ensure a sterile surface.
Compatibility & Care Tips:
- Dishwasher Safe: The porcelain is designed to withstand industrial and domestic dishwasher detergents without fading the reactive glaze.
- Microwave & Oven Safe: Suitable for warming dips if necessary, though they should be handled with care when hot due to the heat-retentive nature of porcelain.
- Storage: The 80mm diameter allows for easy stacking; ensure they are stacked neatly to prevent scratches on the glazed surface over time.
- Handling: While covered by an edge-chip warranty, avoid knocking the dishes against hard metal surfaces or stainless steel sinks to maintain the pristine condition of the rims.
