Porcelain Kahla: types, tips for choosing and caring for dishes

For many, china is associated with wealth and prestige. Such cutlery is not only a wonderful table decoration, but also a magnificent piece of furniture. The real pleasure is to eat dishes from such an inventory, and even with a long past. Such positive emotions can cause Kahla porcelain.

Kahla Thuringia Porcelain Factory is one of the successful manufacturers of table and tea sets. The company was founded 175 years ago in 1844 by Christian Ecard, and the first thing I did was cups, doll heads and smoking pipes. In the mid-90s of the twentieth century, the largest reorganization of the company took place, which was able to save it from bankruptcy and brought to a new level of production.

A distinctive feature of Kahla table sets is not only in the original design, but also in the aesthetic component. They look pretty elegant, but at the same time very durable. This is achieved due to the high content of natural clay in the composition.

Product quality is achieved through regular research of raw materials in the laboratory. Only kaolin clay from own wells is used in the production. Finished products are carefully monitored.

The appearance of kitchen utensils is not limited to elegance. Designers and artists of Kahla develop various forms of jewelry, harmoniously combined with white color and unusual patterns.

Despite the grace the manufacturer has taken care of the heat resistance of utensils that can withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius. It is acceptable to use both for cooking in the oven and in the microwave.

But despite the merits, Kahla porcelain is not without some drawbacks. Dishwasher cleaning is only permitted for plain dishes. The manufacturer indicates this feature in the instructions. In addition, the cost of brand products from Germany is quite high. Not everyone is able to afford it.

When choosing a service, take into account the style of the room. Dishes should not be evident, but harmoniously complement it.

Consider what to consider when acquiring porcelain.

• Buy only at branded stores.
• The main attribute of porcelain is its delicate translucency. If you look at the light, you can see the hallmark of the factory in the form of a crown with a name on the opposite side.
• Another individual property is a light melodious sound made when tapped with a wooden stick.
• Coated glaze should be smooth, free from defects.
• The rim of the bottom eliminates glaze. Porcelain undergoes double firing at a temperature of 1350-1410 degrees. Final - occurs with enamel. If the bottom is covered, it will stick, which will complicate further work with kitchen items.
• Check stability. Not a single production excludes marriage, even the most high-tech. The dishes must stand upright, not hang out, and the service items fit snugly.

In order for charming china to retain its pristine image, proper care is needed. Despite the fragility of things, it is simple and uncomplicated. The main thing is a careful attitude.

• Wash by hand, especially for utensils decorated with painting and gold. So the surface will remain intact.
• Avoid detergents, especially with abrasive particles. Porcelain, even the highest quality, is afraid of household chemicals. She will damage the drawing.
• Use a soft sponge, no metal brushes.
• Do not soak porcelain in water for a long time, this may cause the enamel to crack. It is enough to rinse and wipe with a damp cloth.
• To avoid stains, wipe dry.
• Do not place dishes on top of each other. Fragile service details may be damaged.
