Crockery
As with some any product, the correct handling and care of  crockery  will enhance the appearance and longevity of the product. The following is a guide that will assist you in this quest; 

Upon receipt of your crockery delivery, remember to wash each item twice before serving and inspect for chips or cracks. For effective cleaning, it is recommended that the dishwashing temperature and the final rinse be set between 55 to 60 degrees centigrade. Operating at a higher temperature in an effort to wash  crockery  'properly' is a definite case of overkill and detrimental to ceramics and for that matter, glass and cutlery.

The combination of overdosing of detergent with excessively high dishwashing operating temperature results in premature deterioration of the glazed finish and any surface decoration which is present. This affects other products such as glass and cutlery giving them a dull finish.
