Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge There is a Xi custom in China that you buy new tableware for your home during the Chinese New Year, which means wealth. Consumers buy tableware without paying, and most of them are made of ceramic.
Chinese like to use ceramic tableware, which has many styles and good safety. Ceramic tableware can be a good match with dishes, so that every plate of dishes can be a work of art.
What do you need to pay attention to when buying ceramic tableware?
Overglaze color, underglaze color
Due to the development of industry, many merchants like to draw patterns on ceramic tableware, which has a certain ornamentality. The patterns of ceramic tableware are divided into two types: overglaze and underglaze.
Overglaze: Overglaze refers to the drawing of colorful patterns on tableware that has been fired into white glaze or other colored glazes, and then made by secondary roasting (low-temperature roasting).
The advantages of glaze color tableware are bright and bright, the surface has a sense of concave and convex, and there are many patterns.
The disadvantage is that the patterns on the tableware are easy to wear, and some patterns will add some trace amounts of lead, cadmium and other elements in order to increase the effect, which are easy to dissolve, and it is easy to affect the body after long-term use.
Therefore, when choosing glazed tableware, try to avoid the cutlery mouth or the colorful pattern on the inner wall of the tableware.
Underglaze color: Underglaze color refers to drawing patterns on molded tableware, and then applying a layer of transparent glaze, which is fired at a time at high temperature.
Because the pattern is covered under the glaze layer, the surface of underglaze tableware is smooth and bright, without concave and convex feeling, and does not fade.
If consumers can't tell what the process is, they choose tableware with no pattern on the inner wall.
Look, touch, play
Good ceramic tableware should be smooth and flat, without black spots, and neatly shaped.
You can check the tableware under the sun or lights, if the thickness of the tableware is uniform and transparent, it means that the quality of the tableware is better.
You can also touch the surface and outer edge of the tableware with your hands, whether it is smooth, if not, it means that the process is rough.
You can also gently flick the tableware with your hands, and if it makes a crisp and pleasant sound, it means that the quality of the tableware is also good. If the sound is dull and muddy, the utensils are rough or cracked.
