In addition to its dazzling whiteness, its delicate translucence and refined sound, porcelain stands out for its exceptional qualities. Waterproof and incredibly durable, it retains its strength through extreme temperatures, ranging from –25°C to +330°C, without being affected by either the cold or the heat. Porcelain’s unparalleled sturdiness guarantees optimal food safety while offering quick and simple maintenance.

Baccarat’s fine porcelain and crystal defy the effects of time, resisting time, air, water and the wear and tear of life, making them timeless and precious materials.

Care and Maintenance
Although porcelain is a hard-wearing material, it is advisable to follow certain precautions when using it to ensure its longevity:
• Be careful with temperature variations, do not pour boiling water.
• The use of microwave ovens is strictly forbidden. Gold and platinum decorations are not compatible with microwave ovens.

Before use, we recommend that you clean your porcelain thoroughly, taking the following advice into account:
• To avoid scratches, clean by hand using a soft, non-abrasive sponge.
• The dishwasher is also recommended. However, make sure you choose an appropriate cycle and lay your China out properly to avoid it clattering.
• After washing by hand or in the dishwasher, we recommend wiping your pieces with a soft cloth to preserve the shine of the decoration.
