Porcelain Care

Care for white porcelain

Rinse new porcelain with warm water before first use. For tea ware, avoid harsh scouring pads and let pieces dry fully before storing.

White porcelain can show tea marks over time. A gentle baking-soda paste or a mild porcelain-safe cleaner can help remove surface stains without dulling the finish.

Choosing a first piece

If you are starting with Dehua porcelain, choose a gaiwan, master cup, incense holder, or small vase. These pieces are easy to place in daily use and show the quiet white surface that makes the tradition special.
