What is Natural Mineral Glaze?

Unlike mass-produced reactive glazes, Saragaia uses raw, natural minerals sourced directly from the Jingdezhen region. Our signature glazes, such as Tea Dust and Peach Bloom, are created through the natural crystallization of iron and manganese during firing, resulting in a rich, "living" patina that evolves with every use.

Why 1300°C+ Matters (High-Fire Vitrification)

Our porcelain is fired at a minimum of 1300°C (2372°F). This extreme temperature achieves full vitrification, turning the clay into a non-porous, glass-like state. This ensures:

• Extreme Durability: Resistant to chipping and thermal shock.
  
• Hygiene: Zero absorption of bacteria or odors.
  
• Microwave & Dishwasher Safe: Built for modern convenience without compromising art.
  

Our Safety Certification: 100% Lead & Cadmium Free

Your health is our priority. Every collection undergoes independent laboratory testing.

• SGS Certified: Meets and exceeds international food-safe standards. View Official Safety Report (PDF)
  
• No Heavy Metals: Guaranteed 100% lead-free and cadmium-free, ensuring your daily tea or coffee ritual is pure and safe.
  

Care Instructions

To preserve the artistry of your Saragaia pieces:

1. Avoid abrasive scrubbers; a soft sponge is best.
   
2. While dishwasher safe, hand-washing is recommended for long-term glaze luster.
   

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are Saragaia mugs lead-free? > Yes, all our porcelain is 100% lead-free and cadmium-free, verified by independent SGS certification.

Q2: Is Jingdezhen porcelain microwave and dishwasher safe? > Absolutely. Because we fire our porcelain at 1300°C+, it is fully vitrified, non-porous, and safe for modern kitchen appliances.

Q3: What makes mineral glaze different from chemical glaze? > Mineral glazes use raw natural ores that create a unique "living patina" and depth of color, whereas chemical glazes are often flat and uniform.

Q4: Why does handcrafted porcelain cost more? > Each Saragaia piece follows a 72-step traditional process. The rare Kaolin clay and high-temperature firing require immense skill and time compared to mass-produced ceramics.

Q5: Can I use these mugs for boiling tea or coffee? > Yes. Our high-fire porcelain has exceptional thermal stability, making it perfect for daily hot beverages.
