Dishwasher Safe: It's up to you 

Our china is decorated using hundreds of different transfers made at different times and from different factories. We ourselves are still exploring the possibilities and properties of the thousands of combinations. We don’t know all the answers but we can tell you what we have learnt: 

Modern dishwasher products have come a long way but prolonged use can cause a small amount of the glaze that covers the transfers to erode. Some of us have washed our china in the dishwasher daily for five years with no ill effect. Others have seen gradual matting of the glaze and in some cases fading of the transfer beneath. 

We know that thicker 1960’s transfers can be seen to erode quicker.   

We know that transfers with a large amount of reds, yellows and oranges are prone to fading.

All china that has gold lustre is sub micron layer of REAL gold that sits a few molecules deep under the glaze. It is not recommended that you scrub it with scourers, put in the dishwasher and definitely not in the microwave!

Microwave Safe: Yes, unless it has gold leaf
