How to choose?

When buying a porcelain kit, remember that you do not purchase it for 1–2 years, but at least for the next 5–10 years. A set for 6 persons is considered classic. If you do not expect to see more people at your table, feel free to pick it up. You can choose by the number of items, for example, the standard set consists of 15 items, but you can also find extended sets in 21 items.

Choose products from bone china, because it is better and more durablebecause the production adds milled animal bones to the composition, which gives the dishes a snow-white color and allows making products with thin walls that will not affect their strength at all. To ensure the high quality of the bone material, it is enough to send the product to light - real china will shine a little.

And also pay attention to the surface, it should be absolutely smooth, without tubercles. Another difference is the white milky shade.

In the shops you can find a huge number of sets with a variety of designs. It should focus only on their taste preferences. You can choose a set in the classic European style or with oriental patterns. If you prefer folk motifs, pay attention to the kits painted with Khokhloma or Gzhel. Universal are the classic white products with gold or silver patina, they will always be relevant. Bright and extraordinary personalities fit modern models with an interesting design.

The most popular are the following decors: Madonna, flower patterns, hunting. They are timeless. For children, you can buy porcelain sets with drawings of cartoon characters. Some brands produce exclusive models to order, and there are sets decorated with Swarovski crystals. Such kits will be more expensive than standard ones, but they look much more beautiful and original.

When buying a china tea set for 6 people, do not forget to think about how it fits into the interior of the apartment.

Look for gold or silver. The fact is that in a microwave oven, in no case should you put dishes with cuttings, as it can melt. The same applies to the dishwasher, the high temperature of the water and abrasive detergents will not harm the porcelain, but the drawing will be washed off time after time. When buying, be sure to consider the packaging or ask the consultant if the instructions mention a mandatory handwash. If you are going to use both a microwave oven and a dishwasher, then purchase options without a layer with glaze décor.

For the future, consider the possibility of purchasing additional items. Perhaps now you need a tea set for 6 persons out of 15 items, and after a while you will need to expand the set with other items, such as an oiler, dessert plates or additional cups with saucers.

To get this opportunity, take kits related to a large collection of dishes.This will provide an opportunity for the subsequent purchase of additional items.
