FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
PORCELAIN
We high fire all the porcelain at very high degrees.
Porcelain and ceramics are very tough, vitrifying during the firing process, but they can still be broken and damaged by dropping, a sharp knock, and contact by force or pressure against other solid surfaces, ie metal, tiles, glass, steel door handles and stone benches etc.
This means the rings and earrings need to be worn with care, and not while you are actively working or doing activities that may mean the rings or earrings will come into contact with other solid objects.
Think of your tableware like plates/vases/coffee/tea mugs – they are robust, and great for every day use, but if dropped or knocked against the tap while washing they can chip/ crack/ break.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The JHA PORCELAIN designs are fired to high temperatures to ensure that they are strong and durable.
They will withstand normal wear and tear. But porcelain is a delicate material that should be handled with care. No problems washing the tableware/homeware in the dishwasher and they can be used in the oven/microwave with exception of those items that have a golden or silver finish. They don’t like a dishwasher or (microwave) oven. Porcelain will most likely not survive being dropped on hard surfaces like tiles or concrete. Also be careful with impact on stone benchtops. The JHA PORCELAIN designs can be washed in warm and cool water if they become dirty – especially any un-glazed /matte surfaces. Prevent thermal shock for the designs, for example from the fridge into a heated oven. Keep acidic and abrasive substances away from the gold/silver lustre, it may cause dulling and scratching.

As described in the process from porcelain clay to baked porcelain, many phases precede making an article in porcelain. The porcelain process is ‘slow’. The drying process is perhaps the phase that lasts the longest. If you try to speed up this process, chances are that the porcelain object will warp or cracks will form. So you can not afford to rush into the process. Moreover, the drying is very dependent on the weather conditions (humidity), the thickness of the clay and the size of the object.
