The 4-piece set includes a dinner plate, fruit plate, large bowl, and a 17 oz mug. The 5-piece set replaces the mug with a tea cup and saucer set, which has a 10.14 oz capacity.
Yes, Bordallo Pinheiro earthenware is designed for both everyday meals and special occasions. While it is durable, it is still a ceramic material, so it should be handled with the same care as other high-quality dinnerware to avoid chips.
To preserve the vibrant green glaze and the intricate detailing of the cabbage motif, we recommend hand washing with mild soap. If you choose to use a dishwasher, ensure the pieces are spaced properly to prevent them from knocking against each other.
While these pieces are crafted for functionality, earthenware can be sensitive to rapid temperature changes. It is generally best to avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving them directly from a cold refrigerator to a hot oven.
The textured surface is part of the charm of the design. While it requires a bit more attention than a perfectly smooth plate, a soft brush or sponge will easily reach into the crevices during cleaning.
