FAQs

What material is the dinner set made from?

The Serax La Mère Dinner Set is made from hand-moulded stoneware.

How many pieces are included in this set?

This is a 12-piece set, consisting of four dinner plates, four starter plates, and four soup bowls.

Is the dinner set dishwasher safe?

Yes, the set is generally dishwasher safe, but hand-washing is recommended to best preserve the artisanal finish and unique edges.

Can I use this dinner set in the microwave?

Microwave use is generally safe, but prolonged heating, especially with high-fat or high-sugar foods, is not recommended due to potential for uneven heating.

What makes this dinner set unique?

Each piece is hand-moulded, resulting in slight variations and uneven edges that give it an artisanal and nostalgic charm, inspired by the design of Marie Michielssen.

What is the inspiration behind the La Mère collection?

The collection is an ode to the figure of the (grand-)mother and women in general, designed to evoke a sense of warmth and tradition.

Are the uneven edges fragile?

While intentionally part of the design, the uneven edges should be handled with care to prevent chipping or breakage. Avoid clanking pieces together.

Troubleshooting

Chips or cracks on edges

Handle pieces with care, especially when washing or stacking. Avoid dropping or clanking pieces together. If minor chips occur, they may not affect functionality but can be smoothed gently if desired.

Stains on white stoneware

Use a non-abrasive cleaner or a baking soda paste for stubborn stains. Ensure thorough rinsing after cleaning.

Uneven pieces affecting stability

The design intentionally features uneven edges. Ensure pieces are placed on a stable, level surface for dining. Minor wobbling is part of the artisanal character.

  1. Washing: Wash by hand with mild detergent and a soft sponge, or use a dishwasher on a gentle cycle.
