Tableware
A comparison of crockery materials: every crockery material has its benefits and drawbacks and these should be weighed up carefully before purchasing. The deciding factor will ultimately be the intended use for your crockery.
Premium Porcelain
Villeroy & Boch has succeeded in combining the finest white porcelain with the outstanding functional properties of vitro-porcelain. Special additives give this porcelain its white colour. With its densely fired body, Premium Porcelain is particularly resistant to breakages and chips, so it easily withstands gentle knocks. Because of these practical and aesthetic advantages, Villeroy & Boch uses “Premium Porcelain” for most of its tableware series. This material is popular in homes but also in hotels and restaurants.
Properties:
- white colour
- highly resistant to breakages and chips
- dishwasher-safe/microwave-safe
- coordinates with a wide range of styles
Premium Bone Porcelain
Premium Bone Porcelain (also known as bone china) is considered the finest of all porcelains. One of its unique characteristics is that it is made using calcined cattle bone ash, in addition to other raw materials. The blended ingredients give the porcelain its distinctive white colour and translucent effect, complemented by a soft sheen and vividly coloured motifs. The exceptional hardness of the material makes fine Premium Bone Porcelain very strong.
Properties:
- high degree of whiteness and soft sheen
- special reflective properties
- translucence
- high mechanical strength
- microwave-/dishwasher-safe (except for all precious metal decors)
