Pulished on Jul. 20, 2025


In today's pursuit of a high quality of life, the choice of tableware directly affects the dining experience. After conducting a comparative study, Garbo tableware discovered 

that ceramic materials outperform glass tableware in terms of safety, practicality and aesthetic value. Here is the detailed analysis:

1. Material Characteristics: Dual guarantees of safety and durability 


Better thermal stability

Ceramic tableware (such as the kaolin material used by Garbo Tableware) can withstand a temperature range of -20℃ to 300℃ (data source: National Ceramic Quality Inspection Center), 

while ordinary tempered glass can only withstand a temperature range of -10℃ to 120℃. When heated by microwave, ceramics will not experience local overheating due to light refraction. 


Outstanding chemical stability

The lead and cadmium leaching from glazed ceramics is less than 0.5mg/L (in compliance with GB 4806.4 standards), making it safer to store acidic foods for a long time. However, 

glass is easily corroded by carbonated beverages, causing scratches and becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. 


Impact resistance test comparison

2. Usage Scenarios: The Essence Lies in the Details 


Upgrade of dining table experience

The 25-30 dB knocking sound of the ceramic (close to the texture of ivory) is much lower than the 45 dB of glass, creating a quiet dining environment

The ceramic glaze's microporous structure reduces the adhesion of oil stains by 37% (third-party test report), making cleaning more convenient

Special needs adaptation

Children's tableware: Ceramic can be made with rounded thick edges, while glass poses a risk of cutting

Business banquets: Bone china has a light transmittance of 45% and does not reflect light, making it better at showing the natural color of ingredients than glass 


Long-term usage cost

The average service life of Garbo ceramic tableware is 8 to 10 years, which is three times that of glass tableware. This means significant savings in replacement costs over the long term. 



3. Brand Value: The Fusion of Cultural Heritage and Modern Aesthetics 


Cultural symbol attributes

Chinese ceramics have a history of 3,000 years. Garbo Tableware manufactured in Chinese factory inherits the intangible cultural heritage glaze painting technique of Jingdezhen. Each piece is a cultural carrier, which is 

incomparable to industrialized glass products. 


Customization potential

Ceramics support personalized techniques such as underglaze painting and gilding. When customized by enterprises, logos can be incorporated and remain colorfast forever. 

However, glass printing is prone to wear and tear.

Garbo ceramic tableware wholesale from China is made by scientifically blending raw materials and firing at a high temperature of 1380℃. It possesses threefold advantages in terms of safety, practicality 

and cultural value. Choosing ceramic is not merely choosing tableware; it is also choosing a timeless lifestyle.
