These quality are the Do’s and Don’ts of taking care of your AnnaVasily accessories and dominant forces. Apart from being fashionable and beautiful, we are using our mother company’s experience and we strive to create user-friendly products that comply with your brilliant taste and style. Below, you will find information on how to take additional attention when using and storing them.

Washing and Cleaning of dinnerware

At AnnaVasily, colours are qualified for a minimum of 1000 dish-washing sessions. AnnaVasily dinnerware can be washed in dishwashers at a temperature up to 203F (95C). Nevertheless, you can extend the life and the vitality of colours by selecting dishwasher cycles of max 140F (60C). Please be aware however, that the result also depends on the rinsing programs, type of dishwashing detergents and water quality.

Bonded accessories (accessories that are made up from bonding glass to metal or glass to glass) should be cared for in a tender manner. Such products come with a sticker “hand-wash only”. AnnaVasily bonded accessories should only be hand-washed in combination with mild detergents and in lukewarm water. Please note that we recommend cleaning your champagne glasses by hand as well.

Metal parts (AnnaVasily accessory parts that are purely made of metal and are not bonded to another part) should not be immersed in water. To clean them, please use a damp cloth in combination with mild detergents.

Acid Resistance of dinnerware

All AnnaVasily accessories’ colours are acid resistant. That is, colours are resistant to attacks by acids that contain up to 4% citric acid. Such acids are naturally contained in your recipes through nutrients such as lemon, vinegar, passion fruit and other cooking ingredients.

Scratch resistance of dinnerware

Silverware will not damage the AnnaVasily dinnerware.

Stainless steel cutlery contains carbon in order to increase the hardness of the metal. Depending on the manufacturer, this hardness falls between 40% to 52% on the Rockwell Hardness scale (the carbon contained in Japanese cutting knives or kitchen knives is 52%) and some colours might be inscribed by it. In cases where the hardness of the metal exceeds that of the colour, it is possible that “pencil marks” appear on the surface of your plate. If this happens, rub the marks with alcohol and they will disappear.

Preheating of dinnerware

When preheating your plates, it is preferable to do so without food.. Normal practice is that plates are warmed up at 158⁰F (70⁰C), they are plated with food and finally carried with cloth napkin to the table. This is done because serving the heated plate on the table might cause burns on the end user’s hands if he/she accidentally touches the glass.

Warming food with our dinnerware

AnnaVasily dinnerware can be heated in a microwave oven and kept in it at maximum 800W, up to 10 minutes. Accessories with metallic colours (such as Dark Doe Brown) make an exception to this rule and we recommend not to use them in microwave ovens. Never use our dinnerware in grills. Direct contact with fire will cause breakage.

Taking Care of Metal parts

Although all of our high tea and cake stands on a metal base are created especially to fit your afternoon tea table, they may have some features that need to be paid closer attention to. Be careful when dragging your AnnaVasily metal accessory on a wooden surface, because metal is harder than wood and this may result in an undesired surface scratching.

Which is the ABC’s of our Accessories?

Our home accessories are made by hand. Therefore, final creation may result in minor differences in size, form or colour from the sample or photo.

Measurements and Weight

Measurements of the products are clearly stated on the Site in the Product page (Description and Specifications). There, you can check the external measurements of the product (diameter if round, external length and width if not round, height and weight). Keep in mind, however, that because our objects are handmade, we have a +- 2 millimetres allowance in the external dimension and a +-2 centimeters in the height (with regards to products that are higher than 15cm – metal parts will not vary in dimensions).

In case you have trouble understanding measurements, we have also an image of the product together with a fork as a “measuring tool” (in the Product page), which can help you visualize sizes better. It is an image that compares your product to an average real size fork.The handmade process of our production may result in minor differences in size, shape or colour from the sample or photo.

Packaging

Products are sold in packages of multiple items or pieces. The number of items per package depends on the product and varies between 1 to 6 pieces. Prices are shown per package. Quantity is shown both in the product page and the cart. Quantity discounts may apply according to the quantity of packages purchased.

Colours

Our home accessories are made by hand. Therefore, our creation practice may result in minor differences in colour.
All colours are non-toxic (Lead and Cadmium free) and safe for use with food. Colours are fired and fused into the glass (they do not flake during dishwashing). They withstand scratches from steel cutlery 52% on the Rockwell Hardness scale or 6 on the Mohs scale (Cr/Ni plated cutlery). All colours are acid resistant and will not blur or fade when in contact with food ingredients that contain citric acid below 4% (vinegar, lemon etc).
