Each piece of Arthur Court serve ware is individually crafted and polished by hand. Flawless perfection can only be achieved on an assembly line, and is not our intention. Variations in the product reinforce the fact that every piece is made by hand, and therefore is unique.
Wash your Arthur Court aluminum serve ware by hand with mild dishwashing soap and dry immediately. DO NOT WASH IN DISHWASHER. The brilliant polished luster of your aluminum will be permanently dulled by the high heat of a dishwasher or oven.
To prevent stains, remove all food and liquid — especially fatty acids, vinegar or salad dressings — from the serveware after use, or insert a glass liner before placing foods in the serve ware. It is recommended that just prior to serving, your piece be wiped or sprayed with vegetable oil. By doing so, the oil will act as a barrier against highly acidic or salty foods, which may otherwise dull or discolor the finish.
Unlike silver, our aluminum products do not require regular polishing. As needed, pieces can be brightened with rubbing cloths, or other fine silver polishing compounds.
