FAQs

Does this set include bowls?

Yes, as an 18-piece set, it is designed to provide a coordinated table setting which typically includes dinner plates, side plates, and bowls.

Is the material lead-free?

The Simpa Epoque stoneware is crafted for standard consumer dining safety, meeting general kitchenware safety requirements.

Can these go in the oven?

While the pieces are microwave safe, they are not intended for use in a conventional oven or broiler.

Will the black color fade over time?

The matt black glaze is fired into the stoneware and is designed to resist fading under normal usage conditions and standard dishwasher cycles.

Are these plates scratch-resistant?

While stoneware is durable, the matt finish can show marks from sharp metal cutlery over time; using proper dining etiquette will help maintain the appearance.

What is the weight of the plates?

As stoneware, these pieces are heavier and sturdier than porcelain or earthenware, providing a grounded feel on the table.

Troubleshooting

Stubborn marks on the matt surface

Use a non-abrasive sponge and mild dish soap; avoid steel wool or harsh scouring pads to maintain the finish.

Dishes feeling excessively hot after microwave use

Reduce the power setting on your microwave or decrease the heating time, as stoneware has excellent heat retention properties.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Simpa Epoque set remains in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. First Use: Wash all pieces thoroughly with warm soapy water before the first use to remove any production dust.
  2. Dishwasher Care: While the set is dishwasher safe, avoid overloading your rack to prevent pieces from knocking against each other, which could cause chips.
  3. Microwave Usage: Use caution when removing items from the microwave as stoneware can become quite hot to the touch.
  4. Storage: Store in a dry, ventilated cupboard. Because these plates have a vertical-edge design, ensure they are stacked carefully to prevent unnecessary pressure on the raised rims.
