Gifting Lustreware Ceramics: Thoughtful Presents and How to Care for Them

Lustreware ceramics are more than beautiful objects, they are gifts that shimmer with meaning, connection, and care. At Cardoon Studio, each piece is handmade in Spain, reflecting a blend of cultures and creativity. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to brighten someone’s day, gifting lustreware is a way to share beauty, mindfulness, and a story that spans centuries.

Why Lustreware Ceramics Make the Perfect Gift

• Unique and Personal: Every lustreware piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped by hand and finished with metallic glazes that catch the light in unexpected ways. No two are ever the same, making your gift truly special.

• Rich in Story: Lustreware has travelled across borders and generations, connecting people through shared artistry and innovation. Gifting it is a way to honour tradition and celebrate modern rituals.

• For Every Occasion: From birthdays to weddings or simple acts of kindness, lustreware ceramics suit any moment. Their timeless appeal and practical beauty make them cherished by all kinds of recipients.

How to Care for Lustreware Ceramics

To ensure your gift remains radiant for years to come, follow these simple care tips:

• Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges and strong detergents, which can dull the lustre finish.

• No Dishwasher or Microwave: The metallic glaze is delicate and can be damaged by high heat or harsh cycles.

• Handle with Care: Store pieces with space around them to prevent scratches or chips. Display them where light can enhance their iridescence.

• Celebrate Imperfections: Each piece may show subtle variations in colour or texture, a hallmark of its handmade nature and a reminder of its unique story.
