Specifications

Craftsmanship

Blue-and-white (qinghua) decoration is painted with cobalt pigment directly on the dried, unfired body. The piece is then covered with a clear glaze and fired once at high temperature (around 1,300°C), which turns the pigment blue and seals the pattern under the glaze, so it does not wear off with use.

How to Use

For serving and eating food. Before first use, wash in warm water with a little mild detergent. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring boiling liquid into a cold piece straight from the refrigerator.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
