FAQ
Is this stoneware dishwasher safe?+
While technically suitable for a gentle cycle in a dishwasher, we recommend handwashing these plates and bowls to maintain their beautiful glaze and prevent any potential fading or chipping over time. Dishwasher use can accelerate wear.
What is the maximum oven temperature this stoneware can withstand?+
This stoneware is safe for use in an oven up to 180°C (356°F). Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations, as this could cause thermal shock and damage.
Are these plates suitable for hot foods or liquids?+
These plates are designed for everyday use and can comfortably hold warm food. However, prolonged exposure to very hot liquids is not recommended due to the nature of stoneware.
What cleaning products should I use?+
For best results, use a mild dish soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the glaze.
How durable is this stoneware dinnerware?+
The stoneware is quite robust due to its high firing temperature, offering good resistance to chipping and scratching with normal usage. However, it's still a ceramic product and should be handled with care.
Are the colours consistent across all pieces?+
Due to the nature of stoneware production, slight variations in colour may occur between individual pieces. This is perfectly normal and adds to the unique character of each item.
What size are the plates?+
Each plate measures approximately 27cm (10.6 inches) in diameter – perfect for a generous portion of your favourite meal.
Are the bowls microwave safe?+
While technically possible, we don’t explicitly recommend microwaving stoneware dinnerware regularly due to potential thermal shock risks. If you do, use low power and allow food to cool slightly before handling.
What is the weight of the set?+
The complete set weighs approximately 3kg (6.6lbs), providing a solid and stable feel during meal service.
How should I store this stoneware dinnerware?+
To prevent chipping, store the plates and bowls carefully stacked or laid flat. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of them.
