Care of Ceramics

CARE AND USE OF CERAMIC DINNERWARE

Not Safe for Microwave or Conventional Oven Use
Avoid High Temperatures: Due to its characteristic thickness 
and earthenware porosity, ceramic dinnerware may be damaged by 
exposure to extremely hot temperatures. Our dinnerware, like any 
other Deruta's product, are "Serving" pieces and they are NOT 
meant to be used for cooking or re-heating.

Protect Against Chips and Cracks
Majolica is low-fired earthenware and chips more easily than 
vitreous-china dinnerware. Careful hand wash is recommended 
although Geribi's dinnerware items are electric dish-washing safe.
When using electric dishwashing, it is recommended to load your 
ceramic dinnerware far apart to avoid touching each other during 
the high pressure dish-washing.

Characteristics of Majolica and low fired Ceramics
With repeated use, Majolica has a tendency to "craze" 
(forming minuscule lines in the glazing).
The crazing is the nature of Majolica, and has no significant 
effect on the ceramic item.

Food Safe
All Geribi's Dinnerware and Tabletop Products are Guaranteed 
to be 100% Food Safe.
