Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Kiln Bowl in smoke grey is designed for professional caterers and restaurant owners who require a blend of rustic charm and commercial-grade durability. Its primary benefit is its exceptional resilience, backed by a lifetime edge-chip warranty, though users should be aware that the hand-painted rim and organic, irregular shape means no two pieces are identical, which may be a consideration for those seeking absolute uniformity.

FAQs
Are these bowls dishwasher safe?
Yes, they are fully dishwasher safe and designed to withstand the intensity of commercial dishwashing environments.
Can I use these in the microwave?
Yes, the Olympia Kiln range is microwave safe for heating or warming food.
What is the lifetime edge-chip warranty?
The warranty covers the edges of the bowls against chipping, providing assurance of the product's long-term durability in professional settings.
Do the bowls look exactly the same?
No. Due to the reactive glaze and hand-painted rim, each bowl features unique tonal variations and slightly different rim detailing.
What standards do these meet?
They are manufactured to meet the Vitrified Hotelware Standard BS4034, which ensures high strength and low water absorption.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface marking
Use a ceramic cleaner or a mild abrasive pad specifically designed for porcelain to remove metal transfer marks from cutlery.
Bowl feels loose when stacked
Because of the organic, irregular rim shape, ensure bowls are rotated to find the most stable nesting position during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Olympia Kiln bowls, ensure they are loaded correctly into commercial dishwasher racks to prevent impact damage. While they are microwave safe, avoid thermal shock by not moving them directly from a freezer to a hot oven or high-heat microwave setting. For storage, although they are designed for busy environments, stacking should be done carefully to accommodate the unique organic rim. No special cleaning agents are required; standard commercial detergents are safe to use with the reactive glaze finish.
