FAQs

Yes, all Gmundner ceramic pieces are dishwasher safe. For optimal care and to preserve the beautiful hand-painted designs, we recommend washing at a maximum temperature of 50°C.

Absolutely! Gmundner ceramic is microwave safe. We recommend ensuring your pottery is completely dry after washing before placing it in the microwave, as residual moisture can cause it to heat up excessively.

Minor colour variations are a hallmark of genuine Gmundner ceramic. Since each piece is individually handcrafted and hand-painted by our master artisans in Austria, these subtle differences are a testament to the unique, artisanal nature of your pottery. It's what makes every Gmundner piece truly one-of-a-kind!
