General use and care

All work is functional unless otherwise marked.  Functional work is very durable, and is food-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe.  Bakeware is oven-safe to 350°.

To ensure continued durability and guard against cracking:

  ▪ Avoid temperature shocks--cold dishes should not be put into hot
     ovens, and hot dishes should not be put into cold water or
     refrigerators.
  ▪ Bowls and casseroles should be at least half-full when baked or
     microwaved.
  ▪ Lids should not be used during cooking.
  ▪ Do not use on stoves or over open flame.


Pillow Vases

Pillow vases are easily cleaned by rinsing with water or diluted bleach, and allowing to dry upside-down (i.e. in a dish drain) overnight.  They do not contain metal "frogs."


Delicate surfaces

If marked "delicate surface," work is still food-safe, but the outer surface makes it unsuitable for the microwave or dishwasher, and should be handled with care and hand-washed.


Non-functional work

A mark of "non-functional" indicates the piece is intended as decoration only, and is not food-safe and/or is not intended to hold liquid.  Non-functional pieces may be hand washed with mild soap.
