Instructions for use

Ru ware celadon is a precious traditional ceramic, made with refined techniques and shaped with elegance. Given its distinctive historical and cultural value, as well as the characteristics of its material and glaze, it requires special care when used and maintained. Here are some recommendations on whether it can be put in a washing machine or microwave:

Dishwasher

It is not recommended to put Ru ware celadon in a washing machine for the following reasons:

  1. High temperatures and strong water jets: Washing machines use hot water and powerful water jets, which may scratch the glaze on Ru ware celadon. Extra care should be taken with antique or thin porcelain.

  2. Chemical ingredients in detergents: Detergents used in washing machines contain harsh chemicals that may corrode or damage the glaze.

  3. Risk of impact: Items inside a washing machine may collide with one another. Ru ware celadon is fragile and can easily be damaged by impact.

Microwave

It is not recommended to heat Ru ware celadon in a microwave for the following reasons:

  1. Glaze cracking: The glaze on Ru ware celadon can develop fine cracks at high temperatures, and prolonged heating may make them worse.

  2. Uneven heating: Microwave heating may cause uneven temperatures inside and out, resulting in glaze cracks or damage to the porcelain.

  3. Metal decorations: Some Ru ware celadon pieces have metal decorations. Putting them in a microwave may cause sparks and pose a safety hazard.
