Caring for your Porcelain (continued)

Suitable for dishwasher

The colours of such ware are fired onto the glaze at (at least) 840ºc. These resistant colours achieve such a strong bond with the glaze that the dishwasher has little or no effect on the decoration. Dishwasher tests in the Institute for Material Technology at Rosenthal AG have proven the durability of such patterns. These services can be put into the dishwasher at a maximum of 55ºc. Do pay attention to the guidelines of manufacturers of dishwashers and detergents on the suitability of their products.

Dishwasher safe

The colours of these decorations are melted into the glaze at a temperature of over 1000ºc, where the glaze softens and absorbs the decoration. The colours and luminescence then become permanent, scratch and rub resistant. However, gold decoration is not totally insensitive to scratches. These patterns have been tested by the Institute of Material Technology at Rosenthal AG and can safely be washed in a dishwasher.
