Geometrico Christmas Bauble

With continual use majolica can develop tiny cracks in the glaze which is the nature of majolica and has no significant effect on the pieces.

Heat Shock and Cracking

Avoid extremes of temperature when using ceramic products as this can cause breakage due to heat shock. This is the cracking that happens when majolica is rapidly heated or cooled.

Our ceramic items are non suitable for use in domestic ovens or in microwave ovens.

Ceramic pieces destined exclusively as furnishing items can sometimes have a painted finish that gives them an “aged” look, this is the time worn “patina”. Cleaning of these pieces must be done with a dry soft cloth without the use of any detergent.

For ceramic items that will be used with food we advise washing either by hand or in a dishwasher at no more than 50 degrees centigrade. Extra care should be taken to place ceramic items at a distance from other items in the dishwasher as contact between various pieces could cause them to chip. Wait till the pieces are thoroughly cooled before removing them from the dishwashe.
