How to choose?
When buying a porcelain set, remember that you are not buying it for 1–2 years, but at least for the next 5–10 years. A set for 6 is considered classic. If you do not expect to see more people at your table, feel free to take it. You can choose by the number of items, for example, a standard service consists of 15 items, but you can also find extended sets of 21 items.
Choose bone china as it is of better quality and more durable, since during production, ground animal bones are added to the composition, which gives the dishes a snow-white color and allows you to make products with thin walls, which will not at all affect their strength. To make sure of the high quality of the bone material, it is enough to direct the product into the light - real porcelain will be slightly translucent.

And also pay attention to the surface, it should be absolutely smooth, without bumps. Another difference is the milky white shade.
In stores, you can find a huge number of sets with a variety of designs. You should focus only on your taste preferences. You can choose a set in a classic European style or with oriental patterns.If you prefer folk motives, pay attention to the khokhloma or Gzhel painting sets. Classic white products with gilding or silver patina are universal, they will always be relevant. Modern models with interesting designs are suitable for bright and extraordinary personalities.
The most popular are the following decors: Madonna, floral patterns, hunting. They are timeless. For children, you can purchase 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 cost more than standard kits, but they will look much more beautiful and original.
When buying a porcelain tea set for 6 people, do not forget to think about how it will fit into the interior of the apartment.

Look for gold or silver layering. The fact is that in no case should you put dishes with a layering in the microwave, 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 pattern will be washed off over and over again. When buying, be sure to consider the packaging or ask a consultant if there is a mention of mandatory manual washing in the instructions. If you are going to use both a microwave oven and a dishwasher, then purchase options without layering with glaze decor.
For the future, consider the possibility of purchasing additional items. Perhaps now you need a 15-piece tea set for 6 people, and after a while you will need to expand the set with other items, for example, an oil can, dessert plates or additional cups and saucers.
To get this opportunity, take sets belonging to a large collection of tableware. This will provide an opportunity for the subsequent purchase of additional items.

How to care?
If you are the proud owner of a luxurious antique tea set, you will have to wash it exclusively by hand. In order for a porcelain tea set to delight the family for many years, the following rules for caring for it should be observed:
- washing is allowed only with a soft sponge, the metal one will have to be postponed for another case;
- the product should be soft, preferably specially designed for porcelain;
- do not forget to remove the rings from your fingers, as they can scratch the dishes and erase the pattern;
- watch the temperature of the water, it should be slightly warm;
- play clean products with a soft kitchen towel immediately after washing so that the drops do not turn into streaks;
- if the dishes have lost their snow-whiteness, wipe them with a cotton pad with tartaric acid;
- dark traces of tea can be easily removed with vinegar or soda;
- hold the products directly by the bottom of the body, not by the handle or spout.
The baby bottle brushes can help you clean up any bottlenecks.
