Are the Three Pieces in This Kintsugi-Inspired Afternoon Set Dishwasher Safe?

Yes, the individual listings describe all three pieces in the Kintsugi-Inspired Afternoon Ritual Set as dishwasher-safe. The bowl is Mino ware ceramic; the small plate and cold-tea glass are glass with lacquer decoration on the back, protected by a dishwasher-safe resin coating. For the two glass pieces, that coating must remain intact. If it becomes scratched or starts to peel, the maker's care advice is to stop using the dishwasher and wash by hand.

What comes in the set?

The fixed set contains exactly one cream-white Mino ware café au lait bowl, one Jet Black 150 mm small plate, and one clear textured cold-tea glass. The gold lines are a decorative kintsugi-inspired design. These are finished tableware pieces, not vessels repaired after breaking, and the set is not a repair kit.

The bowl is wheel-thrown, so small differences between pieces are expected. The plate measures 150 mm across, 15 mm high, and about 190 g. The glass measures 75 mm across and 57 mm high. These measurements come from the individual listings and may vary slightly by piece.

How should you care for the ceramic bowl?

The bowl's individual listing says it is dishwasher-safe and has a protective treatment to help resist stains. Its care advice is separate from the two glass pieces. Do not assume that the bowl's finish and the glass pieces' back coatings respond in exactly the same way to wear.

What makes the plate and glass dishwasher-safe?

On the small plate and cold-tea glass, the decorated lacquer layer sits on the back of the glass. A protective resin coating seals it. The eating or drinking surface is glass. The individual product listings describe both as dishwasher-safe while the back coating is sound.

The maker also gives a specific exception: friction against other dishes or an impact at an edge can damage the back coating. If detergent gets beneath a scratch, the coating may peel, change color, or deform. If you notice damage, stop machine washing that piece and wash it by hand. The product pages do not specify a dishwasher program, temperature, or detergent, so there is no basis for promising one particular setting.

What should you check before washing?

• Check the back of the plate and glass for scratches, lifting, or other coating damage.
• If the coating is intact, follow the individual item's dishwasher-safe description.
• If the coating is damaged, handwash that item and avoid further abrasion.
• Keep the three pieces from knocking against one another during handling and storage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the gold lines evidence of a repair?

No. They are a kintsugi-inspired decorative motif on new tableware. The set does not include a repaired vessel or tools for repairing one.

Is the packaging for the three-piece set the same as each individual item's box?

The individual listings describe their own packaging, but the bundle page does not confirm the packaging for the combined set. Ask the store before ordering if gift presentation matters to you.

Are the tea and food in the photographs included?

No. Food and drinks are serving suggestions; the bundle contains the three tableware pieces only. The cover is an illustrative scene based on product photos. Use the product gallery to compare the exact shape and decoration of the pieces.
