ceramic care 101: keeping your handmade pieces looking new 🏺
Okay so i feel like nobody talks about this enough — handmade ceramics aren't the same as regular plates and if you're treating them the same way, they're probably suffering in silence.
Nothing dramatic. just a few small things that make a genuinely big difference.
Skip the dishwasher (seriously)
I know it's tempting. but the heat, the pressure, the detergent — it slowly dulls the glaze and you won't notice until it's already happened. your ceramic bowls and dinner plates just need warm water and a soft sponge. that's it. if something's stuck, soak it — don't scrub.
Let them dry before you stack them
Wet ceramics stacked on top of each other = trapped moisture = tiny cracks forming in the glaze over time. just leave them to air dry or give them a quick wipe. thirty extra seconds, genuinely worth it.
Get some felt separators
This is the one most people don't know about. every time you stack your bowls or plates, the base of one is slowly scratching the glaze of another. thin felt pads between pieces completely stop this. they cost almost nothing and they'll save your ceramics.
Temperature shock is a real thing
Cold bowl + piping hot food straight from the stove can actually crack the piece. just let it come to room temperature first — or warm the bowl slightly. everyday use is completely fine, just don't go from one extreme to the other.
For stains: baking soda is your best friend
Make a paste with warm water, leave it on the stain for 15–20 mins, rinse. works on coffee, tea, turmeric, most things. stubborn stain? a little white vinegar on a cloth. just please don't use bleach — it strips handmade glazes and you can't undo it.
Placemats and trivets pull more weight than you'd think
Rough table surfaces scratch the base of your dinner plates. hot ceramics sitting on cold stone can cause stress cracks. a good trivet or placemat in the right spot fixes both. small habit, long-lasting pieces.
That's genuinely all there is to it. handmade ceramics just want to be treated with the same care you picked them with — a little gentle, a little intentional. do that and they'll look beautiful for years. ✨

Your Capsule Dining Set
There's something really calming about opening a cabinet and seeing only what you need.
No mismatched mugs. no plates you keep meaning to donate. just a few pieces that actually work together — and make every meal, even a Tuesday lunch, feel a little more intentional.
That's the whole idea behind a capsule dining set. fewer things, chosen carefully. the tableware equivalent of a capsule wardrobe.
Here's how to build one. 🍽️
Start with dinner plates you genuinely love
the right plate makes food look better. it makes you want to sit down. that's not nothing.
go neutral — soft beige, ivory, warm off-white. handcrafted ceramic plates with subtle textures add quiet character without competing with what's on them. sturdy enough for every day. refined enough for guests. that's the sweet spot.
Let your bowls do more work
a good bowl in a capsule set shouldn't have one job. it should go from breakfast oats to leftover curry to a late-night ice cream situation without skipping a beat.
two or three sizes in the same colour family is all you need. a deep everyday bowl, a shallower one for salads, and a larger serving bowl that holds its own on the table when people come over. kept in the same tonal palette, they always look considered — even when dinner was thrown together in twenty minutes.
Glassware: Simple, Always
resist the urge to have a different glass for every occasion. most of them will never get used.
a small set of clean water glasses that double as juice glasses, wine glasses, cocktail vessels — whatever the evening calls for — keeps things effortless. clear or lightly tinted, comfortable to hold, simple silhouette. that's it. that's the brief.
A few pieces of serve ware make everything feel complete
this is the part of a capsule dining set that tends to get overlooked — and it really shouldn't.
a couple of serving platters, a tray, a large bowl and suddenly you can move between a casual family dinner and an impromptu gathering without scrambling. choose pieces that share something with your dinnerware — texture, tone, material. ceramic and wood together almost always works.
these should feel special without being reserved only for special occasions.
Keep Cutlery Quiet
a well-made cutlery set doesn't demand attention. it just makes every meal feel slightly more considered. classic lines, comfortable weight, a finish that doesn't clash with anything.
it earns its place by never being wrong.
Small Accents = Big Refresh
The final layer is the lightest one. napkin rings, a placemat swap, a single centrepiece object — these little things let you change the mood of your table without touching the core collection.
linen one week, woven the next. a candle moved to a different corner. the table keeps feeling new.
Why it actually works
A capsule dining set makes everyday dining feel intentional without making it precious. every piece works harder, looks better, and fits your life — whether that's a quiet breakfast alone or a long dinner that runs past midnight.
elegance was never about excess. it's about choosing well, and then actually using what you chose. ✨
