Care and Use of Your Italian Biscotti JarsProtect Biscotti Jars Against Chips and Cracks
Majolica Biscotti Jars are low-fired earthenware and chips more easily than china dinnerware. Our Italian pottery and dinnerware items are dish-washer safe, but it is recommended to place the dishes and Biscotti Jars far apart from each other during the high pressure dish-washing to avoid breakage.
Common Characteristics of Majolica and Italian Pottery
With repeated use, Majolica has a tendency to "craze" (forming minuscule lines in the glazing). This crazing is the nature of Majolica pottery, and has no significant effect on the Italian pottery and sometimes it is a much sought after effect. Because each piece of Majolica Italian pottery is individually crafted, you will notice slight variations in color and size. Furthermore, occasionally you will note paint smudges, fingerprints and looseness of lids. These variances should not be considered as imperfections, but as evidence of fine, hand-crafted work. Enjoy!
