Really elite tableware is not just high prices, but products of the highest level with the use of handwork. Many prefer high-end products not only for aesthetic reasons, but also in quality and safety of materials.
Porcelain
The production of ordinary porcelain occurs on an industrial scale, while bone is produced in smaller quantities, using manual work. You can check its originality by the following criteria:
- Thin and light;
- semitransparency - if you put the product in the light, you can see the silhouette of the hand between them
- poor thermal conductivity - a mug with hot tea will not burn;
- the image is even, brush strokes are noticeable
- Milk white color
This includes Limoges porcelain. It is distinguished by its whiteness, due to the use of kaolin clay. To date, only the porcelain produced in the French city of Limoges can be called Limoges.
