Our tableware is dishwasher, oven and microwave safe. It is highly resistant to scratches but to avoid such incidents, use liquid detergent and soft sponge for washing and do not rub it with force. Recommend detergent is for metal marking: -Load the washer so that pieces do not touch each other, to avoid the risk of Metal Objects (metal racks, Aluminum tray, pots, pans, utensils, etc.). -Never use too much detergent. -Use mild liquid detergent. Because detergent attack can expose particle at the surface, which being harder than metal normally used. -Metal can scratch the cookware, so wooden or plastic utensils are suggested. -Do not use abrasive cleanser. Using a soft, wet cloth or sponge is recommended. Please note that it is not possible to produce hand crafted porcelain without having irregularities and warping in the final product. Usually, it is not very visible and in fact contributes to the normal, attractive look of high fired porcelain. There are defined limits for acceptable irregularities, and these are a part of our normal quality control.
