What is Porcelain?
Porcelain or China is a type of fine-dining dinnerware typically made from fine-particle clay, comprised of feldspar, kaolin, and quartz, that is fired at a high temperature to give it a glossy finish while enhancing durability and creating a non-porous structure. This process also gives the dinnerware an upscale look to be used for formal dining settings and events such as a dinner party or during your Thanksgiving feast.
Five Benefits of Porcelain
Porcelain plates and bowls sets are the prime choices for fine dining, and for good reason. Among giving you a variety of stylistic and aesthetic options for all your entertainment occasions, porcelain dinnerware provides these added benefits:
- Durability — When investing in fine China, the last thing you want to worry about is it breaking. Porcelain is very durable when compared to clay or stoneware, reducing the risk of damage.
- Microwave Friendly —Luckily for you, Lazuro makes reheating those Thanksgiving leftovers easy in our microwave-friendly porcelain plates and bowls set. But as a guideline, always check your porcelain dinnerware’s care instructions before using it in the microwave.
- Low Maintenance — As a host, you want your dinnerware to be low maintenance. Lazuro’s porcelain dinnerware is dishwasher-safe and scratch-resistant. But keep in mind that not all porcelain plates or bowls can withstand harsh chemicals or a dishwasher. It is best to hand wash with a gentle cleaner to keep your porcelain looking its best!
- Light Weight — When you are filling your Thanksgiving Day plate, you want dinnerware and serveware that is light enough for even the littlest of hands to carry.
The Perfect Minimalist Thanksgiving Dinner Table
After purchasing your porcelain plates and bowls set, it is time to set the table! At Lazuro, we understand the beauty that comes with a minimalist set-up. You want your dinnerware to add to the experience and not overwhelm your guests. Here are a few tips to set the perfect Thanksgiving dinner table:
- Choose a simple color palette — Utilize fall colors like oranges, browns, yellows, reds, and greens.
- Play with textures — Dinnerware made with natural materials look great paired with a textured table runner!
- Greenery is always a good idea — By using greenery you can freshen up and add a breath of fresh air to your guest’s dining experience.
- Don’t forget a few special touches — Don’t feel like you cannot incorporate your style or personality into your table setting. Candles, centerpieces, and even hand-tied twine around the silverware are a great addition!
