Ceramic Care Guide

Our artisan ceramic tableware collection is crafted using traditional Sejnane pottery methods.

These pieces are hand-formed and low-fired in open kilns.

They are fully functional for daily food use, but they require mindful care.

This guide explains how to preserve structure, surface, and longevity.

Washing

We recommend:

• Hand washing with mild soap

• Using a soft sponge

• Avoiding abrasive pads

After washing, dry thoroughly before storing.

Avoiding Thermal Shock

Because these pieces are low-fired earthenware, sudden temperature changes can cause stress.

Avoid:

• Pouring boiling liquid into a cold bowl

• Placing hot dishes onto cold stone surfaces

Allow gradual temperature adjustment.

Everyday Use

These ceramics are suitable for:

• Warm foods

• Salads, grains, pasta

• Shared serving

They are not designed for:

• Direct flame

• Oven baking

• Freezer-to-heat transitions

Surface Marks & Patina

Over time, minor surface marks may appear.

These may include:

• Metal utensil traces

• Slight tonal darkening

• Natural wear patterns

This is part of earthenware aging.

To remove light metal marks:

• Gently rub with baking soda paste and a soft cloth

• Rinse and dry thoroughly

For more detail, see remove-metal-marks-from-ceramic.

Storage

When stacking:

• Place a soft cloth or paper between pieces

• Avoid excessive vertical weight

• Store in dry conditions

Proper storage reduces rim stress and surface abrasion.

Long-Term Longevity

With careful handling, these ceramics can last many years.

They are robust under normal dining conditions but reflect the material logic of traditional earthenware.
