Zebra Chip & Dip

Care Instructions from the designer:
Dinnerware and Chip & Dips

All of our products come from the finest quality ceramic earthenware and are hand-painted in Italy. They meet all requirements of the FDA and are intended for serving food.

Variations in wear can result from differences in the temperature at which ceramics are fired, and also from variations in the clay, or "earth." We recommend avoiding the heat setting on dishwashers and find that hand washing works best for large earthenware, especially chip-and-dips. We advise against soaking in the sink or dramatic swings in temperature, such as going from very hot to very cold. The microwave is not recommended.

Our products are manufactured to the highest specifications to ensure durability, and with normal handling, should give you many years of joy.

The Italian Recipe for Beauty - from the designer:

We're proud that our products are crafted by master artisans in the best Italian factories-some of them generations old. Centuries of experience have enabled them to produce the finest, most durable, most beautiful ceramic dishes on earth.
Each piece begins with the bisque-red or white earth mixed with water, poured into a mold and fired. Recently, a stronger bisque was developed, making our ceramic even more durable.

We rely on expert painters, whose touch and tools are as pure as those whose domain is canvas. The painting style of each Italian factory reflects its region. Generally, in the north of Italy, you'll find a tendency for delicate floral décor and a soft palette. Moving south brings styles more rustic and vibrant.
