Porcelain
Most Nambé Porcelain is microwave safe and dishwasher safe. Exceptions are decorated porcelain, which should be washed by hand, and porcelain decorated with gold, silver, or platinum, which cannot be used in the microwave. Rinse each piece prior to loading it into the dishwasher and avoid overcrowding. Load pieces securely on racks and position so that they do not come into contact with other items during the cycle. Porcelain pieces may also be washed by hand using a mild detergent and soft sponge.
Care
- Do not subject Nambé Porcelain items to severe temperature changes; items should be at room temperature before putting hot foods in them
- Do not use porcelain in a conventional oven, under the broiler, or on a burner
- To prevent scratches, make sure pieces do not come into contact with other pieces; paper may be placed between stacks of dinnerware to prevent contact
- To remove marks caused by metal utensils or stains, rub gently using a non-abrasive cleanser and soft sponge
Eva Zeisel
"Eva Zeisel is the most important designer working in the ceramics industry in the 20th century, " says Derek Ostergard, Zeisel historian and Dean of Bard College's Graduate Center for the Decorative Arts.
Zeisel, born in Hungary in 1906, began her career at 18 as an apprentice designer in the ceramics industry in Germany. In the 1930s she was appointed Art Director of Russia's China and Glass Industry. She immigrated to the U.S. in 1938 and began teaching at Pratt Institute in New York and winning design commissions.
In her long career, Zeisel has freelanced for scores of manufacturing clients in the U.S. and Europe. The scarce originals of her everyday ceramic tableware from the 1950s, like Red Wing's Town and Country, are sought-after collector's items. Her work is in the permanent collection of the British Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art and MoMA. There's even an Eva Zeisel forum with periodic bulletins (http://www.evazeisel.org).
Zeisel's creations are distinguished by their simple charm and "friendliness." Zeisel collectors will be delighted to learn she has integrated these characteristics in her beautiful Nambé metal, crystal and lighting designs.
