Olympia Kristallon Plastic Sorbet Dish (Box 12) – shatter-resistant 165ml portions, glasswasher safe
Product description
The essentials
If you serve individual portions of sorbet, ice cream, mousse or fruit, you already know how quickly tableware gets through a busy shift. The Olympia Kristallon Plastic Sorbet Dish (Box 12) is built for that reality: a tough, shatter-resistant dish made from polycarbonate, with a textured look that still lets the dessert’s colour stand out.
On paper it’s a practical catering piece rather than something purely decorative. You’re choosing it for day-to-day durability and speed of cleaning, especially when you need a quick turnaround between covers.
What it is (and what it’s for)
This is a sorbet dish designed around individual serving size, with a stated 165ml capacity. In practical terms, that’s the sort of portion you’d use for a starter-style dessert: a small scoop of sorbet, a measured serve of ice cream, a mousse portion, or even a fruit salad presented neatly.
The 12-pack format also points towards workplace use. Rather than buying “one off”, it’s geared towards stocking up so you’re not constantly chasing replacements mid-service.
Where it stands out
Three things matter most with catering dishes, and this one leans into all of them:
- Shatter-resistant polycarbonate construction: it’s designed to resist breaking, which can be a big deal in high-traffic environments.
- Textured finish with clear material: you get a more “finished” look than plain plastic, and the clear body helps showcase colourful sorbets and desserts.
- Glasswasher safe cleaning: fast and hygienic cleaning is the headline here, aiming to save staff time and support quicker tableware turnover.
There’s also a straightforward serving benefit: the portion size is meant to support more consistent serving, which can help with portion control when you’re busy.
What you’ll notice day to day
In day-to-day use, these dishes make sense when your workflow depends on dishwashing and throughput. A typical scenario: you serve sorbet in each dish at the pass, clear the table right after, then run the items through the glasswasher so they’re ready for the next round of desserts.
The textured finish is noticeable without trying too hard. It can help the dish look more intentional on a table, even though the material is plastic rather than glass or ceramic.
Things to consider before buying
This is where you should be a bit realistic. Because it’s plastic (even if it’s polycarbonate), it may not give the same “premium” feel some customers expect from glass or ceramic dessertware.
Also, while it’s described as shatter-resistant, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s indestructible in every situation. If you handle tableware roughly or have frequent knocks at floor level, you’ll still want to review how it fits your storage and service routine.
Who it suits best (and who should skip it)
It’s a solid pick if you want resilient, consistent portioning for everyday dessert service, and you prioritise quick cleaning cycles in a glasswasher.
It might not suit you as well if your goal is a very “upmarket” table presentation where the tactile feel of glassware is part of the experience, or if you’re only serving desserts occasionally and don’t need a 12-pack.

Mini FAQ
Is it suitable for sorbet and individual desserts?
Yes. The stated intention is for individual portions such as sorbet, ice cream, mousses and fruit salads.
How does glasswasher safe matter in practice?
It’s designed to support faster, hygienic cleaning, which can help staff time and speed up turnaround during busy service.
What does shatter-resistant mean for catering?
It’s meant to reduce breakage in busy environments, so you’re less reliant on careful handling and frequent replacements.
Will it look good on a table?
The textured finish and clear body are designed to showcase colourful desserts, so it should read as more than plain disposable plastic.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you need shatter-resistant plastic sorbet dishes with a clear 165ml portion size, textured presentation, and glasswasher-safe cleaning for busy catering use.
You may want to skip it if you’re specifically chasing a glass-or-ceramic feel, or if you only need a few dishes and don’t benefit from stocking up with a 12-pack.
