Care & Maintenance

Caring for Your Celadon

Thoughtful handling protects the glaze, form, and quiet presence of each piece through everyday use.

Celadon is durable ceramic, yet edges, handles, glaze, and unglazed feet still benefit from steady temperature, gentle cleaning, and careful storage.

General Care Principles

Do

  • Hand wash with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
  • Use a mild, neutral dish soap only when needed.
  • Rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth.
  • Allow the piece to dry fully before storage.

Avoid

  • Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, and scouring powders.
  • Avoid bleach, ammonia, and strongly acidic cleaners.
  • Do not soak pieces for extended periods.
  • Do not use a dishwasher unless the specific product is marked dishwasher-safe.

By Piece Type

Specific guidance for each category in your ORENSU collection.

Tea Ware

First use

Rinse new teaware with warm water, then let it dry completely before the first tea session.

Tea stains

Light tannin marks can occur with use. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soap; avoid aggressive whitening products.

Teapot lids

Handle lids separately and place a soft layer between pieces during storage or transport.

Vases & Vessels

Fresh flowers

Use room-temperature water and change it regularly. Rinse the interior after use.

Dried arrangements

Make sure stems are clean and dry before placing them inside the vessel.

Narrow necks

Use a soft bottle brush without exposed wire for careful interior cleaning.

Dining & Tableware

First use

Hand wash before first use and follow the care information supplied with the individual product.

Cutting and serving

Avoid cutting directly on the glaze and use serving utensils that will not mark the surface.

After dining

Remove food promptly, wash gently, and dry the unglazed foot before storage.

Decorative Pieces

Dusting

Use a soft dry brush for carved areas and a clean microfiber cloth for smooth surfaces.

Unglazed bases

Use felt or cork beneath porous or unglazed feet to protect both the piece and the furniture.

Handling

Support the base with both hands and avoid pressure on projecting details.

When Something Changes

Troubleshooting

A piece is dropped but remains intact

Set it on a stable surface and inspect the body, rim, foot, and handles under good light before using it again.

A fine line appears in the glaze

Decorative crackle may be intentional. If the line continues through the ceramic body or changes with pressure, stop using the piece and contact ORENSU with clear photographs.

A mark remains after normal washing

Do not scrub aggressively. Send a photograph and the product name so the safest cleaning method can be confirmed.

A piece arrives damaged

Keep the packaging, photograph the parcel and damage, and contact ORENSU promptly so the order can be reviewed under the current returns policy.

A Note on Natural Variation

Variations in glaze color, surface texture, and crackle pattern arise naturally from hand forming and kiln firing. These differences are part of the material character of celadon rather than evidence that every piece should look mechanically identical.
