CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR CHINA AND CUTLERY - PLUS OUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY

How to care for your China / Porcelain dinner sets.

Noritake Formal Dinnerware with Gold or Platinum

Washing by hand: Avoid harsh scourers or abrasive pads. Even in water, the glazed surfaces can be scratched if rubbed against each other. So avoid putting too many items into the water at any one time.

Dishwasher: Noritake dinnerware may be washed in a dishwasher. But keep this in mind about all of your dinnerware, glassware, and tableware: treat them with the respect that high quality, beautifully crafted products of any kind deserve. Although very strong, porcelain and bone china are still breakable if abused.

*Don't overload your dishwasher with anything.
*Never use too much detergent.
*Use liquid detergent rather than powder or tablets.
*Set temperature at around 55 to 60C and never over 65C.
*After the drying cycle, let your tableware cool down to room temperature before handling. The heat temporarily softens metal such as gold or platinum.

Microwave Oven: Never put anything with gold or platinum decorated china into microwave oven as it will permanently damage the precious metal.

Storage of Fine Dinnerware: To avoid scratching the surface, avoid sliding the china pieces over each other. Like diamonds cut diamonds, china's unglazed surface such as foot of plates, can scratch other china's surface. Protective pads or towels (including paper-towel) are helpful in avoiding scratching.

Casual Dinnerware
Most casual dinnerware is oven-safe and microwave-safe; detergent, refrigerator and freezer-safe. However, certain precautions should be taken.

* Avoid any sudden temperature change, such as putting a hot item into cool wash water.
* Never expose your casual dinnerware to direct flame, such as the top burners of a gas stove.
* Always be sure that food or liquid is in every piece before it is exposed to heat.
* Don't overload your dishwasher with anything. Not only will you risk chipping or breakage, but your dinnerware won't get clean either because the water and detergent won't reach everything!
* Never use too much detergent.
* We recommend liquid detergent rather than powder or tablet.
* We recommend to set temperature at around 55C to 60 C.

Detergent safe means Noritake technology has protected the delicate decorations from the effects of harsh detergent chemicals.

How to care for your Cutlery.

• Because of higher nickel in good quality 18 / 10 stainless steel, it is possible to end up with a reddish spot on your cutlery (similar in appearance to rust) if you use a citrus (lemon / lime or orange) based detergent or powder. This mark is NOT rust and can be removed by using a stainless steel polish cream found in the supermarket next to the brass and silver polish. ONLY use STAINLESS POLISH on stainless items or you can damage your items.

The Denby Difference

As with all dinnerware slight variations in colour occur in every batch of glazing made. In the case of DENBY, because every item is HANDMADE and HAND GLAZED ALL DENBY DINNERWARE & ACCESSORIES can vary in colour depth. Some items may be Deeper in colour, whilst some lighter. This is caused due to being hand applied glaze, as well as the shaping of individual pieces, creating thicker glaze in some parts and thinner glaze is other parts of the piece. Some Denby glazes have been applied to create a running effect. In general, variations, differences, glazing depth changes etc are appreciated by Denby customers world wide as the beauty of buying a product which has passed through some 25 pairs of hands before leaving the warehouse. The differences unless major e.g. - Bright Blue versus Purple or Soft green versus Olive are part of the beauty of Denby stoneware which has been valued for such individuality for over 200 years. In the case of a major difference such as above, this could have been a manufacturing fault in which case contact sales@denby.com.au and speak to their team regarding this matter.
