How To Care For Fine Bone China
Fine Bone China has been treasured for generations, loved for its beautiful translucency, strength and timeless elegance. Although it looks wonderfully delicate, it is surprisingly durable and designed to be enjoyed every day.
At Cream Cornwall, we believe beautiful things shouldn’t be saved for best. Whether it’s your morning coffee, an afternoon tea or supper with friends, your favourite mug or teapot deserves to be part of everyday life.
With a little care, your Fine Bone China will stay looking beautiful for many years to come.
Is Fine Bone China dishwasher safe?
Yes. All of our Fine Bone China is dishwasher safe.
To help preserve the brilliance of the glaze and decoration for years to come, we recommend using a gentle wash cycle with a mild detergent where possible. Avoid overcrowding the dishwasher, as items can become chipped if they knock against each other during the wash.
If washing by hand, use warm water, a soft sponge and a mild washing-up liquid.
Can I use it in the microwave?
Yes. Our Fine Bone China is microwave safe, making it perfect for warming drinks or heating food.
As with all china, avoid sudden changes in temperature. Taking a mug straight from the freezer into a hot microwave, for example, can place unnecessary stress on the ceramic.
Removing tea and coffee stains
Over time, tea and coffee can leave light surface marks inside mugs and cups.
These can usually be removed with a little bicarbonate of soda mixed into a paste with water. Apply gently using a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse thoroughly.
Avoid abrasive scourers or harsh cleaning products, as these can dull the finish.
Looking after your china
A few simple habits will help keep your china looking its best:
- Wash with a mild detergent.
- Avoid abrasive cleaning pads or powders.
- Store carefully to prevent pieces rubbing together.
- Lift cups by the handle rather than stacking them tightly.
- Handle with care to avoid knocks against hard surfaces.
Everyday pieces, made to last
Fine Bone China is renowned for being both lightweight and exceptionally strong. It has been crafted for generations to be used and enjoyed, not hidden away in a cupboard.
Whether you’re pouring the first coffee of the day, setting the table for Sunday lunch or enjoying a quiet cup of tea in the garden, every piece is designed to become part of life’s everyday rituals.
. Each piece combines timeless quality with our hand-drawn designs, inspired by Cornwall’s coast, countryside and gardens.
We hope it becomes something you’ll enjoy for years to come and perhaps even pass on one day.
