I have noticed rust stains on my cutlery.

Our table cutlery is made from 18/10 stainless steel. Rust found on cutlery is usually surface rust. These rust particles detach from non-stainless items during cleaning in the dishwasher, e.g. steel pots, and adhere to the surface of cutlery, in particular knife blades. However, this has nothing to do with the quality of the cutlery. The rust deposits are caused by an external factor.
If this surface rust has not yet adhered too strongly, you can remove it using a standard stainless steel cleaner, e.g. Etolit or a ceramic glass hob cleaner.

Dark stripes have formed on my tableware. What causes them and how can I clean them?

Grey/black discolouration is usually caused by superficial deposits resulting from contact between the porcelain and metal objects. For example, cutlery or other metal items cleaned in the dishwasher with the tableware, a damaged dishwasher basket or Cromargan steel sinks. If the coating has not yet adhered too strongly, you can remove it using a standard stainless steel cleaner, e.g. Etolit or a ceramic glass hob cleaner.

Who can help me determine the age and identity of historic products?

Our ceramic museum will be happy to help you. Please send a photo of the item and the base stamp to [email protected]

I would like to purchase more items from the NOBLESSE series but I can't find this on your website.

NOBLESSE is a special decor that is only available from retail outlets. With the exception of the cups, the ROYAL collection has an identical shape and therefore NOBLESSE and ROYAL can be ideally combined.

How can I find out the value of my tableware service?

My series is no longer being produced. Can I still order it or is a new edition planned?

Unfortunately, discontinued series are no longer available. We have no remaining stocks of these collections and no further production/new editions are planned.

What is pottery?
