FAQs

What does 'Carretto Siciliano' design represent?

'Carretto Siciliano' is a vibrant design inspired by the traditional Sicilian horse-drawn cart, featuring intricate patterns and bold colors that celebrate the region's folk heritage.

Is the glaze durable?

Yes, the hand-applied glaze is designed to be scratch and abrasion resistant, offering durability for regular use. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine condition.

Can this espresso set go in the dishwasher?

Hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the hand-applied glaze and vibrant colors. While the glaze has some resistance, dishwasher use may degrade the finish over time.

Is the set microwave safe?

No, the espresso set is not recommended for microwave use due to the nature of the hand-applied glaze.

What are the dimensions of the cup and saucer?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but it is designed as a standard espresso cup and saucer set.

How can I best care for the raised surface details?

Care for the raised details by using a soft sponge and mild soap for hand washing. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could wear down these textured areas.

Is this set officially from Dolce & Gabbana Casa?

Yes, the set is marked with a logo at the base of both the cup and saucer, confirming its authenticity as a Dolce & Gabbana Casa product.

Troubleshooting

Colors appear faded after washing.

Ensure you are hand washing with a mild detergent and avoiding abrasive cleaners or dishwashers.

Surface appears scratched.

While the glaze offers resistance, avoid using abrasive materials for cleaning or contact with sharp objects. Minor surface marks might be inherent to the handmade glaze.

Slight unevenness in glaze texture.

This is a characteristic of the hand-applied glaze and Italian craftsmanship, not a defect. It adds to the unique artisanal quality of the piece.
