How Super Vitrified Mediterranean Tableware Works
Super vitrified Mediterranean tableware isn't your average crockery—it undergoes a specialised double-firing process at temperatures reaching 1200°C. This transforms the clay into an incredibly dense, non-porous material with a glass-like structure bonded throughout. The result? Mediterranean-inspired designs with exceptional durability—resistant to chips, scratches, thermal shock, and detergent damage. Unlike standard ceramics, the super vitrification process creates a virtually impermeable surface that prevents moisture absorption, inhibiting bacteria growth and preventing staining—even with acidic tomato-based Mediterranean sauces and oils. It's brilliant engineering disguised as beautiful tableware!

Top Tips for Using Super Vitrified Mediterranean Tableware
To maximise your Mediterranean tableware investment, create contrast on your table with complementary colours—navy napkins pop beautifully against terracotta. When plating Mediterranean dishes, leave room around the edges to showcase the distinctive rim designs. While super vitrified pieces are commercial dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive scourers that might dull the glaze over time. For storage, consider linen napkins between plates rather than plastic dividers for an eco-friendly approach that prevents scratching.
