Frequently Asked Questions About Porcelain Care

Find answers to the most common questions about bone china care and our services

HANDLING & CARE

Bone china requires gentle care to maintain its beauty and longevity: • Hand washing is recommended with warm water and mild dish soap • Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the delicate surface • Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue • Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth • Store pieces separately or with protective padding to prevent chipping • Avoid stacking heavy items on top of porcelain pieces With proper care, bone china can last for generations and maintain its pristine appearance.
While some modern bone china pieces are dishwasher safe, we generally recommend hand washing to ensure the longevity of your valuable porcelain. If you choose to use a dishwasher: • Place items on the top rack only • Use the gentle or china setting • Avoid high temperatures and harsh detergents • Ensure pieces are not touching each other • Remove immediately after the cycle ends However, for heirloom pieces or those with gold trim, hand washing is always the safest option.
Proper storage is essential for protecting your bone china: • Store plates and dishes vertically with protective padding between each piece • Use plate dividers or felt pads to prevent scratching • Keep pieces in a dry, stable environment away from temperature extremes • Avoid storing in damp locations which can cause discoloration • For decorative pieces, use display cabinets with glass doors • Wrap valuable items in acid-free tissue paper for long-term storage • Never store heavy items on top of porcelain pieces This careful storage will help preserve your porcelain for years to come.
For most stains on bone china, start with gentle cleaning methods: • For tea or coffee stains: Soak in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap • For wine or food stains: Create a paste with baking soda and water, apply gently • For stubborn stains: Use a solution of warm water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) • For rust stains: Apply lemon juice and salt, let sit briefly, then rinse Important: Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or bleach as they can damage the surface permanently. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first and rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
Bone china should be used with caution in microwave and oven applications: Microwave Use: • Generally safe for brief heating periods • Avoid prolonged heating which can cause cracking • Never use pieces with metallic gold or platinum trim • Ensure pieces are completely dry before microwave use Oven Use: • Most bone china is NOT oven safe due to temperature sensitivity • Check manufacturer's guidelines for your specific pieces • Never subject bone china to rapid temperature changes • Avoid direct flame contact For heating food, consider using microwave-safe containers and transferring to bone china for serving only.
