Are they suitable for everyday use?
Yes.

Our ceramic bowls and plates are designed to combine practical everyday use with decorative appeal.

Not always.

Ceramic products may naturally show slight differences in:

• Glaze color

• Speckling
• Shape
• Pattern placement

These small variations are part of the natural character of ceramic production and do not necessarily indicate a defect.
Why does the glaze look slightly different from the photos?
Product appearance may vary slightly because of:

• Lighting conditions
• Screen settings
• Glaze characteristics
• Production batches
• Hand-finishing processes

We make every effort to display product colors and details as accurately as possible.
Are small marks or glaze variations normal?
Minor glaze marks, speckles, color variations, or handmade characteristics may occur during ceramic production.

These characteristics generally do not affect normal use.

FOOD &
HOT MEAL USE
Can I serve hot food in ceramic bowls and plates?
Most ceramic tableware is designed for serving hot food.

However, heat resistance varies by product.

Avoid exposing ceramic products to sudden extreme temperature changes.
What is thermal shock?
Thermal shock occurs when ceramic experiences a rapid temperature change.

For example, moving a very cold ceramic dish directly into an extremely hot environment may increase the risk of cracking.

Allow ceramic products to adjust gradually between temperature changes.
Can I use the bowls for soup or hot liquids?
Where appropriate, ceramic bowls may be used for soup and other hot foods.

Please follow the specific product care instructions and handle hot dishes carefully.
05 · MICROWAVE & DISHWASHER USE
Are the ceramic bowls and plates dishwasher-safe?
Dishwasher suitability varies by product.

Some ceramic tableware may be dishwasher-safe, while hand-painted designs, metallic finishes, decorative details, or delicate surfaces may require hand washing.

Please refer to the individual product care instructions.
Can I put ceramic bowls and plates in the microwave?
Microwave suitability depends on the product.

Do not microwave ceramic products with:

• Gold detailing
• Silver detailing
• Metallic decoration
• Other microwave-incompatible components

Please check the product page before microwave use.
Can I use ceramic tableware in the oven?
Oven suitability varies by product.

Do not place ceramic bowls or plates in an oven unless the product is specifically identified as oven-safe.

For regular cleaning, we recommend:

• Warm water

These may damage the glaze or decorative finish.

Soak the item in warm water and gently clean it with mild detergent and a soft sponge.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing that could damage the ceramic surface.

Yes.

Allow ceramic products to dry thoroughly before storage.

This helps keep your tableware clean and ready for future use.

CLEANING
& CARE
07 · STACKING & STORAGE

Many ceramic bowls and plates can be stacked.

However, stacking suitability depends on the shape and design.

To reduce the risk of scratching or chipping, stack items carefully and avoid applying excessive pressure.
How should I store ceramic tableware?
Store products in a stable, dry location.

Avoid placing heavy objects on top of delicate ceramic pieces.

If necessary, use soft separators between stacked pieces to help protect decorative finishes.
08
SCRATCHES &
CUTLERY MARKS
Can metal utensils leave marks on ceramic plates?
Depending on the glaze and utensil material, light cutlery marks may occasionally appear on ceramic surfaces.

This does not always indicate permanent damage.

To help protect the surface:

• Avoid dragging metal utensils aggressively across the glaze
• Do not use metal cleaning tools
• Stack ceramic pieces carefully
