Care & Maintenance of Fine Bone China and Ceramic Tableware
Your fine bone china crockery and premium ceramic crockery from Dandy Lines by DATA are crafted to be as durable as they are beautiful. Fired at high temperatures, each piece is built for strength, a smooth finish, and long-lasting elegance. With simple, mindful care, your tableware will remain a stunning part of your table for years to come.
Daily Use & Cleaning
- Hand-washing is recommended for all pieces, especially bone china crockery and items with gold or platinum detailing.
- If using a dishwasher, always select the gentle or low-heat cycle with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
- Use soft sponges or microfiber cloths only — harsh scrubbers can damage the glaze and finish of your fine bone china.
- Rinse pieces soon after use to prevent stains from settling, particularly from strongly coloured foods and beverages.
- Always allow your crockery to cool naturally before washing. Sudden temperature shifts — hot to cold or cold to hot — can cause cracks over time.
Gold & Platinum Tableware — Special Care
Our gold and platinum crockery pieces are finished with real metallic detailing and require extra attention.
- Do not microwave any piece with gold or platinum rims, accents, or artwork. Metallic finishes react to microwave heat.
- Avoid high-heat dishwasher cycles for all gold and platinum tableware.
- Always use gentle cleaning methods to preserve the shine and longevity of the metallic finish.
Storage & Handling
- Place a soft cloth or tissue between stacked plates and bowls to prevent surface scratches.
- Store your ceramic crockery in a cool, dry space away from direct sunlight to protect the glaze and colour.
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of stacked pieces — excess pressure can cause cracks.
- If your pieces are displayed on open shelves, dust them occasionally to keep them looking their best.
Cutlery Marks & Surface Care
Light grey cutlery marks may appear on the surface over time with regular use. This is completely normal and is not a manufacturing defect. They can be gently removed using a non-abrasive ceramic cleanser or a soft polishing paste. Never use bleach, harsh chemical cleaners, or abrasive tools, as these will damage the glaze of your fine bone china crockery.

Every piece from Dandy Lines by DATA is designed for everyday elegance — from quiet morning chai rituals to festive gatherings and celebratory dinners. Your bone china and ceramic tableware is not just crockery. It is part of the stories, memories, and moments created around your table.
