Troubleshooting
Cup or saucer has a small chip or crack.
Minor chips can sometimes be addressed with ceramic repair kits, but for significant damage, it may be best to discontinue use to avoid breakage. Earthenware is more susceptible to chipping than stoneware or porcelain.
Decoration appears faded or dulled.
This is often due to improper cleaning methods, such as using abrasive cleaners or dishwashers. Future cleaning should be done by hand with a soft cloth and mild soap. The fading may be permanent.
Water spots or residue on the surface.
Ensure the cup and saucer are dried thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing. If water spots persist, a gentle wipe with a vinegar and water solution (1:1 ratio) followed by rinsing and drying may help.
