Dinnerware sets
A comparison of dinnerware materials: every dinnerware material has its advantages and disadvantages, which need to be carefully weighed up when purchasing dinnerware. Ultimately, it is a question of where and how you expect to use your dinnerware.
Premium Porcelain
Villeroy & Boch has combined the finest porcelain with the outstanding properties of Vitro porcelain, and special additives produce it in a clean shade of white. Thanks to its dense kiln-fired body, premium porcelain is particularly resistant to breakage and chipping and can easily withstand light knocks. Due to these practical and aesthetic advantages, Villeroy & Boch manufactures the majority of its dinnerware collections in ‘Premium Porcelain.’ It is just as popular in private households as it is in the catering trade.
Features:
- white color
- particularly break- and edge-resistant
- dishwasher safe and microwave safe
- matches many styles
Premium bone porcelain
Premium bone porcelain (also known as bone china) is considered the finest of all porcelains, and is produced with special calcined bovine bone ash and other raw materials. This fusion creates the inimitable white of the porcelain and its translucent effect, combined with a soft sheen and radiant, colorful decorations. The particular hardness of bone ash makes fine premium bone porcelain particularly resistant to breakage.
Features:
- high degree of whiteness and soft sheen
- special reflective Features
- translucency
- high mechanical strength
- microwave/ dishwasher safe (except precious metal motifs)
