More durable than both earthenware and stoneware, porcelain is fired at extremely high temperatures for a non-porous, glass-like surface. Fine to touch and light in weight, it can be easily used every day if handled carefully. If bone china is too expensive for you, porcelain is an excellent, more reasonably-priced option. However, it is priced higher than earthenware and stoneware. Porcelain is usually not painted or marked with other colours, as its main attraction is its white colour.
Care: Most porcelain pieces are microwave {and oven} safe. Try washing the pieces in a plastic bowl instead of a hard surface to avoid breakage. Bleach or any other abrasive cleaners must not be used, as they can damage the metallic elements of your dinnerware. A mild detergent is the safest option. Always air dry.
We recommend: Villeroy & Boch, Camerich Los Angeles, Noritake and Fabindia.
