Ceramics, porcelain or glass: what’s the difference?

• Ceramics are made from fired clay and are often handmade. Each piece can vary slightly, which gives it character.
• Porcelain is a fine, light and dense type of ceramic, used especially for cups and serving pieces.
• Glass can be clear or coloured and suits drinking glasses, vases and candle holders. Mouth-blown glass makes every piece unique.

How to choose and care for them

• Intended use. Think about whether the piece is for everyday use or mainly for decoration and special occasions.
• Dishwasher. Handmade ceramics and fine glass often need hand washing. Care instructions are listed with each product.
• Food contact. For use with food, choose a piece whose product page states that it is food-safe.
• Set or single piece. Glasses and cups can often be bought as a set or individually, so you can add to them later.

Who is it for?

Ceramics, porcelain and glass suit your own home as well as gifting. A cup or mug makes a heartfelt small gift, glasses or a bowl work well as a housewarming gift, and a vase or candle holder is a lovely gesture for any occasion. For table setting, see also Dining room and kitchen.
