These beautiful ceramics are handcrafted by the people of Vietnam. Flax products are baked at over 1250 degrees Celsius, which strengthens the clay and makes each piece more heat resistant and also much stronger and more durable to resist chipping and breakages whilst maintaining its fineness, lightweight and
tactile form. Of course, like all ceramics, they can break and be better handled with care. The glaze can be scratched when using metal cutlery but this is uncommon.
Flax ceramics can be used for both hot and cold food and drinks, and are safe for use in both the microwave and dishwasher. They are also safe to use in an oven at lower temperatures when re-heating food etc. We advise you not to expose them to extreme temperature fluctuations – for example, placing ice-cold drinks in a heated cup for example will result in thermal shock and the vessel may break.
