Frequently Asked Questions.

  • Product care and general information

Can the products be washed in a dishwasher? Yes, everything that is porcelain + stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher. The ceramics should be washed by hand.

If I start collecting Krum tableware, will the colors be available well in the future? We have designed these products so that it is nice to match different colors together, and we have a color palette that gives good combinations. In the dinner plates we will keep the colors we have and produce these so above all nothing unexpected happens with the production of these. For the smaller plates, we may want to change some colors eventually, but we are always careful that new colors go well into the collection. If you want a discontinued color in the porcelain that we produce ourselves, we will be able to produce more to order against prepayment.

I find it challenging to decide on colors, can I get help? Yes, of course we will help you! Send us an email to post@ment.no or call us on +47 909 32 860 and we will give you good advice on which colors and products fit best together.

Can porcelain break and crack? Our porcelain burns high and is therefore very strong, but if you should be unlucky enough to lose a product, or turn it into something, it can shatter, crack or break into pieces on the surface, just like glass. In the same way as glass, porcelain can also shatter if it is exposed to large temperature fluctuations. If you treat your porcelain carefully, it will last a long time.

Porcelain has darker streaks in some places, why does this happen? Our porcelain is dyed through. This means that we mix color pigments into the porcelain material itself instead of glazing it on the outside with color. Sometimes the color will not be completely mixed and this will result in marbling in the product, especially in the darkest colors this can be prominent. We think this is a beautiful effect and a proof of high quality and craftsmanship!

I experience differences in the same color on the cups, why does this happen? There can be several reasons why there are small color shades in the same color; in the oven there may be temperature differences in relation to where the products are located, which can affect the colors somewhat. We also make our own colors, and every time we mix color pigments there can be small differences in the amounts. This is just proof that our production is manual.

I have stains on the outside of the cup, how can it be removed? The stains should come off in the dishwasher. If you have already run them in the machine, we would recommend using chlorine or baking soda.

Do the cups get hot? Our cups are sloping, so you never fill up to the brim. Then you can hold it at the top if you are going to move the cup and the drink is hot. When the drink is such that you can drink it, then you can hold on to it as well.

Will the porcelain scratch? When stacking plates or bowls, scratches may occur due to the unglazed surface rubbing against the glazed surface. To avoid scratches, we recommend stacking with felt, cloth or foam between each element. If you are worried about scratches and do not want to use felt, we recommend that you choose lighter colors.

My cup cracked - is there a complaint? The material we produce is fragile, and can also get cracks without it necessarily appear immediately if it gets a blow during use. As long as the cup has been in use, this is not something we can complain about.

Where are MENT's products produced? The vast majority of our colored porcelain is produced in our own production at Fåberg, but we have a factory in Portugal that helps us with some selected products. All our ceramics are produced in Portugal.
