Care for Celadon

How to use, clean, and live with celadon objects.

Daily Use

Celadon is made to be lived with, not only displayed. Use your celadon bowls, cups, and vessels daily. The glaze is durable and food-safe.

Can I put it in the dishwasher?

Yes — celadon is dishwasher safe on the top rack. However, hand washing with warm water will preserve the glaze longer. No detergent is needed for rinsing; a soft cloth is sufficient.

Can it hold water, flowers, and tea?

Yes. Celadon is fully vitrified — it holds water indefinitely without seeping. Use it for flower arrangements, tea brewing, and daily meals.

Avoiding chips and cracks

Celadon is strong but not indestructible. Avoid stacking pieces directly on top of each other. Place a cloth or felt pad between stacked pieces. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring boiling water into a cold vessel).

Cleaning the glaze

Rinse with warm water. For stubborn stains, use a soft sponge with mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners and metal scouring pads. The crackle pattern that develops over time is natural and desired — do not attempt to remove it.

Long-term storage

Store upright in a dry cabinet. The unglazed foot can stain wooden surfaces if damp — always dry thoroughly before storing. Wrap individual pieces in soft cloth for long-term storage.
