All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher-safe.

Earthenware: Strong and practical, earthenware is often a little thicker than other ceramics, making it ideal for everyday use.

Stoneware: Fired at high temperatures, stoneware is very tough and heat-resistant. It comes in a number of different glaze finishes.

Porcelain: Affordable yet luxurious, porcelain is renowned for its translucency. Fired at high temperatures, porcelain has an extremely tough glazed surface, making it durable.

Fine china: The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china. Like bone china, it's strong, translucent and delicate, and creamier in colour.

New bone china: A type of porcelain with added calcium oxide to achieve a similar aesthetic as bone china, but without animal bone ash.

Bone china: White bone china is the strongest and most translucent ceramic. Though it looks delicate, it's tough enough for daily use and is usually dishwasher-safe. It contains at least 35% bone ash.
