Microwave and dishwasher safe

The Sango Avanti 16-piece stoneware dinnerware set is both microwave and dishwasher-safe. The set includes four dinner plates, four salad plates, four soup bowls, and four mugs. The unique look of the set is achieved using multiple dipping and brush-applied glazing techniques.

While the set is safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher, it is important to note that the large dinner plates may not fit in a standard-sized microwave or kitchen cabinet.

When using plastic products in the microwave, it is important to look for the telltale squiggly lines symbol, indicating that the product has been tested and approved for microwave use. However, some scientists have warned against using plastic containers in the microwave, as they may leach chemicals into food when heated. Glass and ceramic containers are generally safer options for heating food in the microwave.

To ensure the safety of your dishes, it is recommended to only wash products labelled as "dishwasher-safe" and to use a non-toxic, mild detergent.

Stoneware composition

Stoneware is a type of pottery that is quite hard, holds liquids, is not easily broken, and rings when it is tapped. It is a type of clay that forms a close bond with glazes. When fired the glaze and the clay become almost the same thing, which is why it does not chip easily. It’s durability has made it the favoured clay for making dinnerware and everyday pottery for centuries. Technically speaking, stoneware is similar in its composition to stones, which is where it gets its name. Both of them have gone through changes caused by heat. Of course, stones do this naturally and take longer to form, while stoneware is made of specific minerals added to clay, and is fired in 10 to 14 hours.

Square and round shapes

The Sango Avanti 16-piece dinnerware set combines contemporary design with handcrafted charm. The set features a mix of square and round shapes, with square dinner and salad plates, and round bowls and mugs. The unique look of the dinnerware is achieved through multiple dipping and brush-applied glazing techniques. The set consists of four dinner plates, four salad plates, four bowls, and four mugs.

The Sango Avanti set comes in a variety of colours, including brown, black, and blue. The brown set features a sophisticated blend of colours, mostly brown and earth tones, while the black set has brushed black and clay colours awash in a lustrous glaze, giving a warm and inviting glow to your table. The blue set, known as the Talia set, also features round plates, bowls, and mugs in a dusk blue colour.

All Sango dinnerware sets are constructed from strong, lightweight, and chip-resistant stoneware, and are lead-free, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe. The stoneware composition makes the sets heavily resistant to damage and chipping, ensuring durability and long-lasting use.

Brush-applied glaze

The type of brush used for brush-applied glaze can vary depending on the desired result. Soft hair watercolour brushes, various types of paintbrushes, or even homemade brushes using animal hair can be used. Chinese brushes, made from multiple bamboo shafts joined together, are useful for achieving a streaky-free finish. Large, soft Japanese brushes called Hake are also commonly used for brush-applied glaze.

When applying glaze with a brush, it is important to ensure that the brush is well-charged, meaning it has enough glaze to cover a large area in a single sweep. Applying multiple coats of glaze in different directions can help achieve an even finish.

The Sango Avanti 16-piece stoneware dinnerware set features a brush-applied glaze, giving it a unique, artisan look. The glaze is lead-free and high-temperature, making it safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher.
