Italian ceramics are precious, and can last a very long time with proper care.

Here are some suggestions to preserve your majolica for years to come.

1.        We do not recommend microwaving any Italian majolica products. Although microwaving will not brake an item, it may "craze" the glaze, causing tiny cracks.

2.       Majolica is sensitive to extreme temperatures, specifically boiling or freezing liquids. Pouring water with a rolling boil directly into a teapot, for example, may lead to cracking or breakage. To avoid this, temper the object, by placing it at a low temperature in the oven for a few minutes.

3.       Majolica is NOT dishwasher safe. We recommend to hand wash the pieces.
