Serving a carefully curated Christmas meal is as crucial as preparing one. The right crockery sets can add class to your table, elevating the dining experience at this time of year. Crafted using fine ceramics and stoneware, crockery sets boast fine craftsmanship and add an elegant touch to festive meals.
From a complete range to individual dessert plates, serving platters or mugs, these options also make for a thoughtful gifting option for Christmas, as they can last for generations. Since fine crockery requires some level of care, here’s how to ensure it stays pristine for years.
How to care for your crockery
- Clean the items properly before you store them away. It is best to wash used crockery as soon as possible. Soak the pieces in a mild soapy solution, scrub mildly using a soft sponge or brush and pat dry using a soft cotton or microfibre cloth.
- Check if your set is microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. Adhere to the recommended temperatures for all gadgets.
- Refrain from using sharp metal spoons and ladles to avoid scratching the set.
- Store your collection inside clean, moisture-free shelves. Try not to stack pieces on top of each other to avoid chipping, scratches and cracks.
