41 Silver porcelain 6 inch rim plate

The silver porcelain series is a time-consuming work that requires sand and pebbles to be applied by hand to create matière porcelain clay, molded, fired and polished before applying silver color. For that reason, it is not just a flat silver plate, but it is attractive that each one has a completely different expression. The height difference of the sand and stones creates a difference in the hanging of the silver color, and the silver is darker and the base material is exposed, giving an exquisite expression.

As an appetizer of Western food, as a dessert, as an individual plate, or as a bread plate.

By the way, the last two photos are the silver porcelain plate after about 3 years of use. Growing up so nice!

Diameter: Approx. 18.5cm / Height: Approx. 2cm

Handling of silver porcelain works Since they are painted with silver, they cannot be used in a microwave oven. Also, like other vessels, it cannot be used over an open flame.
Just like silver jewelry, it naturally oxidizes and gradually changes color. It also has the property of reacting to sulfur content. Therefore, it reacts with the sulfur contained in the whites of fried eggs, boiled eggs, etc., and the parts on which they are placed turn black. Even if the color changes, there is no problem in using it, but if you are concerned about it, you can remove the stain cleanly.

Like silver tableware, silver porcelain dishes are meant to be enjoyed as they age, but if you are concerned about discoloration or stains, you can restore them to their original state by following the steps below.

1. Prepare a pot large enough to hold the pot (do not use an aluminum or copper pot as it will stain the pot), and cover the bottom of the pot with two layers of aluminum foil.

2. Place the silver porcelain plate on the aluminum foil. Add enough water to completely submerge the silver plate.

3. Turn on the heat and bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Depending on the size of the vessel, add 2-3 tablespoons of baking soda after boiling (if the degree of discoloration is strong, try increasing the amount of baking soda to a ratio of water: baking soda to 3:1, etc.). Then, the oxidized film of the silver porcelain plate is removed and adhered to the aluminum foil. If you still can't remove it, increase the amount of baking soda and boil it again.

4. When the silver porcelain dish is clean, remove it from the pot. For areas with particularly strong discoloration, apply baking soda and polish directly with a sponge.
