Care Instructions for Jonathan Adler Products

To enjoy your Jonathan Adler favorites for a long time, we have gathered the most important care instructions from Jonathan Adler for you on this page:

From the most elegant sofa to the smallest pot, we recommend consulting the individual product care cards or product pages for specific information. Below you will find general guidelines for our numerous offerings.

CERAMICS
Every prototype begins its journey in our studio in Soho, where Jonathan and his team design the original model in clay and shape it by hand. Due to its handcrafted nature, there will be slight variations and imperfections. We believe this adds to the charm.

DINNER AND SERVING WARE
Rinse immediately after use to avoid scratches and stains.
From our Vice Canisters to our sculptural cups and tea sets to our special occasion tableware, our ceramic pieces are dishwasher safe. Items with metallic accents are dishwasher safe for up to 500 washes. However, hand washing extends the lifespan of your plates.
To prolong the life of your pieces, use a protective cloth or padding when storing or stacking.
Do not use pieces with metal accents in the microwave.

CERAMICS
For unglazed porcelain ceramics: Clean stains with soap and water or make a paste with baking soda for a thorough cleaning. Use only a soft, non-abrasive cloth, as sponges can penetrate the ceramic surface. Minor signs of use can be removed with a Magic Eraser. Pieces are also dishwasher safe.
For items with a clear, colored, or metallic glaze: Dust with a soft, dry cloth and wash by hand or spot clean only. Use mild cleaning agents with water for cleaning.
TABLETOP AND SERVING WARE NOT MADE OF CERAMICS
Our Pop glasses are dishwasher safe.
For items with a clear, colored, or metallic glaze: Dust with a soft, dry cloth and wash by hand or spot clean only. Use mild cleaning agents with water for cleaning.
Pieces with metallic accents, such as our Newport or Malachite glassware, should only be washed by hand.
See below for care of serving ware made of marble, stone, and brass.
BRASS (CAST/BLACKENED)
Every prototype begins its journey in our studio in Soho, where Jonathan and his team design the original model in clay and shape it by hand before making it from solid brass or brass casting. Due to its handcrafted nature, there will be slight variations and imperfections – we believe this enhances the appeal.

DECORATIVE OBJECTS
Over time, the polished brass develops a rich natural patina.
If needed, use a microfiber cloth to polish away fingerprints.
If you have no patience for patina, use a brass polish. Do not use brass polishes on blackened bronze pieces, as this would damage the surface.

FOOD-SAFE PIECES
Avoid contact with acidic foods.
Rinse or wash immediately after use.
Hand wash only with mild soap. Do not use brass polish, scouring agents, or abrasive sponges. To avoid stains, dry immediately with a soft cloth.
Do not use in the microwave.
To prolong the life of your pieces, use a protective cloth or padding when storing or stacking.
