Modern cookware stores offer a wide range of sets, among which it is not so easy to choose. It is worth considering the recommendations for buying a tea service for 6 people and the most popular sets made in Russia and the Czech Republic.

When buying a porcelain set, remember that you do not purchase it for 1–2 years, but at least for the next 5–10 years. A set for 6 people is considered a classic. If you do not expect to see more people at your table, feel free to take it. You can choose according to the number of items, for example, a standard service consists of 15 items, but you can find extended sets of 21 items.

Choose bone china products as they are better and more durable, since during production, the animal’s ground bones are added to the composition, which gives the dishes a snow-white color and allows the manufacture of products with thin walls, which will not affect their strength at all. To verify the high quality of the bone material, just direct the product to the light - real china will shine a bit.

In stores you can find a huge number of services with a diverse design. You should focus only on your taste preferences. You can choose a set in a classic European style or with oriental patterns.If you prefer folk motifs, pay attention to kits painted with Khokhloma or Gzhel. Universal are classic white products with gilding or silver patina, they will always be relevant. Bright and extraordinary personalities are suitable for modern models with an interesting design.

The most popular are the following decors: madonna, floral patterns, hunting. They are timeless. For children, you can purchase porcelain sets with drawings of cartoon characters. Some brands produce exclusive models to order, and there are services decorated with Swarovski crystals. Such sets will cost more than standard ones, but look many times more beautiful and original.

Look for gold or silver layers. The fact is that in no case should you put dishes with a layer in the microwave, as it can melt. The same applies to the dishwasher, the high temperature of the water and abrasive detergents will not harm china, but the pattern will be washed off over and over again. When buying, be sure to consider the packaging or ask your consultant if there is a mention of a mandatory manual wash in the instructions. If you intend to use both the microwave oven and the dishwasher, then purchase options without layering with a glaze decor.

For the future, consider the possibility of acquiring additional items. Perhaps now you need a tea set for 6 people of 15 items, and after some time you will need to expand the set with other items, for example, a nipple, dessert plates or additional cups and saucers.
