Arte Italica Care Guide

Arte Italica pewter, ceramics and glass are made by hand, so small irregularities are part of each piece's character. Care depends on the material.

Pewter

• Pewter is not dishwasher safe; the dishwasher can discolor it.
• Wash by hand: add a few drops of dish soap to warm water, wipe with a damp microfiber cloth or sponge, rinse off the soap, and dry completely. Don't soak it.
• Pewter tarnishes very slowly and needs little upkeep. To add shine, use a pewter polish and buff with a clean microfiber cloth. Never use silver polish, which can damage the surface.
• Pewter is a soft metal that scratches easily. Keep it away from high heat such as stovetops and ovens, and dust display pieces regularly.

Pewter and glass

• Pieces that combine pewter with glass or crystal, such as the Donatello charger, are hand wash only. Keep them out of the oven, microwave and freezer.
• Wash drinkware one piece at a time and dry it, rather than letting it soak in warm water.

Stoneware

• Bella Bianca, Bella Natale and Firenze stoneware is dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.
