Troubleshooting

Gravy boat has faint scratches or scuffs.

This can sometimes occur from contact with metal utensils or abrasive cleaning. Try cleaning with a non-abrasive cleaner like baking soda paste. For future use, recommend using non-metal serving utensils.

Sauce appears to stain the porcelain.

While vitreous porcelain is resistant to staining, highly pigmented sauces left for extended periods may leave a slight discoloration. Soak the affected area in warm water with a mild detergent or a denture cleaning tablet. Ensure the item is rinsed thoroughly after cleaning.

Product arrived chipped or cracked.

Inspect the item immediately upon receipt. Contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement, providing proof of purchase and images of the damage.
