Caring for tableware
Artisanal tableware is often dishwasher-safe, but not always.
- Check per collection whether dishwasher and microwave use is permitted.
- Stack plates with a cloth between them; unglazed bases can scratch glaze.
- Hand-wash mouth-blown glassware.
- Avoid thermal shock with delicate glassware.
