How to Care for Ceramic Tea Ware陶瓷茶具怎么保养与清洗
Simple, safe care for ceramic cups and teapots — washing, removing tea stains, dealing with crackle glaze, and storing pieces so they last.陶瓷杯具与茶壶的简单安全保养:清洗、去茶渍、开片釉处理、收纳,让器物更耐久。
Ceramic tea ware is low-maintenance, but a few simple habits keep it looking good for years. All HalkilnLeaf pieces are food-safe. We recommend hand-washing rather than the dishwasher, which protects the glaze, any hand-finished details, and crackle-glaze surfaces.陶瓷茶具很省心,但几个简单习惯能让它多年保持好状态。HalkilnLeaf 的器物均为食品级。我们建议手洗而非洗碗机,以保护釉面、手作细节和开片釉表面。
Everyday washing日常清洗
- Rinse with warm water and a soft sponge; mild dish soap is fine.
- Avoid abrasive scourers and harsh scrubbing, which can dull glaze over time.
- Let pieces air-dry or dry with a soft cloth before stacking.
- Avoid sudden temperature shocks (e.g. very hot water into a cold-from-the-fridge piece).
- 用温水和软海绵冲洗,温和的洗洁精即可。 / 避免硬质钢丝球和用力刮擦,长期会让釉面变暗。 / 收纳前让器物自然晾干或用软布擦干。 / 避免骤冷骤热(如刚从冰箱拿出就冲很烫的水)。
Removing tea stains去除茶渍
Tea can leave a brown film inside cups and pots. To remove it gently: make a paste of baking soda and a little water, rub with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse well. This is gentler than abrasive pads and safe for glazed surfaces. Repeat if needed rather than scrubbing hard once.茶汤会在杯壁、壶内留下褐色茶渍。温和去除方法:用小苏打加少量水调成糊,用软布或海绵轻擦,再充分冲净。这比硬质百洁布更温和,对施釉表面安全。必要时多重复几次,而不是一次用力猛擦。
Crackle glaze and unglazed clay开片釉与无釉陶
Some pieces have a crackle glaze (fine surface lines) or partly unglazed clay. These can absorb tea over time and develop character — this is normal, not damage. Rinse them with water rather than soaking in strong detergent, and let them dry fully between uses.部分器物带开片釉(细密的表面纹路)或局部无釉胎。它们会随时间吸入茶汤、养出韵味——这是正常变化,不是损坏。用清水冲洗即可,不要长时间泡在浓洗涤剂里,使用之间让其充分干燥。
Storing and handling收纳与取用
- Don’t stack heavy pieces inside thin cups; chips usually start from knocks.
- Use a cloth or shelf liner to cushion stacked pieces.
- Handle by the body, not only the handle or rim, when a piece is full and hot.
- 不要把重器物叠放进薄壁杯里,崩口多半从磕碰开始。 / 叠放时垫一块布或防滑垫缓冲。 / 器物盛满且烫时,托住器身,而不是只拎把手或碗沿。
Frequently asked questions常见问题
Can I put ceramic tea ware in the dishwasher?陶瓷茶具能进洗碗机吗?
We recommend hand-washing HalkilnLeaf pieces. Hand-washing protects the glaze, hand-finished details, and crackle-glaze surfaces, and reduces the risk of chips from movement in the machine.我们建议手洗 HalkilnLeaf 的器物。手洗能保护釉面、手作细节和开片釉表面,也减少机器内晃动导致崩口的风险。
How do I remove tea stains from a cup?杯子里的茶渍怎么去除?
Make a paste of baking soda and a little water, rub gently with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse. It’s safe for glazed surfaces and gentler than abrasive pads.用小苏打加少量水调成糊,用软布或海绵轻擦后冲净。对施釉表面安全,比硬质百洁布更温和。
Is the crackle pattern a defect?开片纹路是瑕疵吗?
No. Crackle glaze is an intentional, traditional effect. The fine lines may deepen with use as they take on tea — that patina is part of the piece, not damage.不是。开片釉是有意为之的传统效果。细纹会随使用吸入茶汤而加深,这种养成的韵味是器物的一部分,不是损坏。
