Frequently Asked Questions

1. How is your porcelain made?

Our porcelain pieces are crafted using high-quality clay that is kiln-fired at high temperatures to create a smooth, refined, and highly durable finish. This process results in a non-porous surface that is ideal for food use, easy to clean, and designed to maintain its beauty over time.

2. What makes your porcelain different from standard ceramic serveware?

Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature than standard ceramics, making it more durable, less porous, and more resistant to chipping and staining. Our pieces are designed to combine this strength with elegant, European-inspired styling and functional details that enhance everyday use.

3. Are your products food-safe and lead-free?

Yes. All of our porcelain products are food-safe and made to meet North American safety standards. They are free from harmful substances such as lead and cadmium.

4. Is your porcelain durable enough for everyday use?

Absolutely. While our designs are elevated and giftable, they are also made for real, everyday use—whether you’re preparing a quick meal or hosting guests.

5. Are your olive wood and bamboo products sustainably sourced?

Our wood collections are made from natural materials, including olive wood and bamboo, both known for their durability and sustainability. Each piece showcases unique grain patterns, adding to its natural beauty.

6. How should I care for olive wood and bamboo serving pieces?

We recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap, then drying promptly. To maintain the natural finish, occasionally treat with food-safe mineral oil. Avoid soaking or placing in the dishwasher.
