EDITORS NOTES About the designer

First introduced in 2011, House by John Lewis tableware captures everything that its designer, Robin Levien, believes in: Functionality, Affordability and Beauty.
Every single piece of the tableware has been carefully designed to be as functional and beautiful as it can be and with the ambition that it will be easy to live with every day.

House is manufactured in Portugal using the most up to date production techniques in the tableware industry. This enables the wide variety of shapes within the range to be made at the highest quality and at affordable cost.
When it comes to plates and bowls, all bases are covered to suit a variety of households - there are round rim, round coupe plus soft square coupe pieces.

Choosing the perfect china

All our china is made from clay and kiln-fired for durability. Except for pieces with special trims, everything is dishwasher safe. Below are a few options to consider when choosing your perfect china.

Earthenware	Strong and practical, perfect for everyday. Its cream colour and low firing temperatures allow for designed pieces.
Stoneware	Tougher than earthenware and chip resistant. Ideal for heavy use and can often go into the oven to temperatures of up to 250°C.
Terracotta	Uses a clay with a rich body colour giving the characteristic base colour, and has a low glaze firing allowing bright coloured glazes. Porous body allows for good thermal expansion and contraction properties making it an ideal body for cookware such as tagines and roasters.
Porcelain	Delicate yet strong. Carefully selected clays give whiteness and translucency. It can often go from oven to table.
Fine china	The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china whilst maintaining the benefits - strength, translucency & delicacy.
Bone china	Bone china is made from 40% bone ash. This makes strong yet thin and delicate pieces which are microwave, dishwasher* and oven safe making each piece ideal for everyday use, not just formal. *Unless product has metallic details - always check individual item for specific care instructions
