Porcelain

Mechanical stress is a common cause of breakage at the rim. For example, during rinsing or handling in general. Occasionally, small cracks in the glaze can also lead to breakage. If you notice increased breakage, our team will help you to find the cause.

Porcelain was developed and used in Western Chinese cultures over a long period between 1122 and 770 BC.

Most small defects occur during glaze firing. Small air bubbles, black spots or even small scratches are part of porcelain to a certain extent. Larger defects are sorted out after firing.

For inglaze decorations, we recommend a minimum quantity of 300 per item. Depending on the design, however, a logo can be used for the coffee and espresso cup, for example. This allows the quantity per item to be reduced.

Inglaze colors or decorations sink into the glaze at a firing temperature of 1200°C. The decoration is completely protected by the glaze and is like white ware.

Tea and coffee can leave unsightly stains on porcelain over time. To remove these stains, you can use baking soda or tooth cleaning tablets: Simply dissolve in hot water and leave to soak overnight

As the surface of the porcelain is harder than the metal of the cutlery, cutlery abrasion may occur. Gray streaks will appear on the glaze. However, these marks can be easily removed with a special cleaning agent for porcelain or a gentle scouring agent.

To prevent limescale stains, make sure you use the right amount of detergent - also to maintain the shine of the porcelain.
