FAQs
Are these dishes dishwasher safe?
While durable, hand-printed ceramics are best preserved by hand washing with mild detergent to maintain the vibrancy of the patterns.
Can I use these in the microwave?
It is recommended to avoid high-heat applications like microwaves to prevent the potential for thermal stress on the hand-printed finish.
What is the primary material used?
These are crafted from high-quality ceramic, chosen for its durability and suitability for tableware.
Can I use these for hot liquids?
Yes, they are suitable for hot sauces or dips, but avoid extreme temperatures like boiling liquid directly in the dish.
Do the patterns fade over time?
With proper care and gentle washing, the hand-printed designs are designed to remain vibrant and attractive for a long period of use.
Troubleshooting
Fading of the pattern over time
Ensure you are using gentle, non-abrasive cleaning agents and avoiding long soak times in harsh dishwashing chemicals.
Appearance of small surface scratches
Avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the dishes; use a soft cloth or felt separator if stacking multiple dishes together.
Dishes appear slightly different from one another
This is a characteristic of the hand-printing process and not a defect; embrace the unique individuality of each piece.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Nicola Spring dishes looking their best, avoid abrasive cleaning tools that might scratch or fade the hand-printed patterns. When washing, it is best to use mild detergents and a soft sponge. These dishes are intended for cold or warm food service; avoid extreme thermal shock by not transitioning them directly from a freezer to a hot environment. Store them in a dry cabinet and stack carefully to prevent chipping or scratching of the delicate patterns.
