Suggestions for Caring for Your Porcelain and Ceramic
- When moving porcelain and ceramic objects, always carry one object or one part of an object at a time.
- It is best to place your hands around the body of the object rather than using an existing handle, rim, or spout for support.
- In general, porcelain and ceramics should be stored and displayed on sturdy, level surfaces that are secure from bumps and jarring.
- Objects should be covered or enclosed to protect them from dirt and dust.
- Newspaper and acidic newsprint paper can cause discoloration and stains and should not be used for wrapping or long-term storage of ceramics and glass.
- Each time a piece is handled for cleaning there is a greater risk of breakage. It is better to protect pieces from soil and dust, rather than wash them too often.
