Longaberger woven Traditions Beverageware and Flatware – Things to Know

At Longaberger, the American spirit thrives! We see it everyday, when we walk the basketmaking floor at our basket factory, where we’re working hard to create the finest-quality hand-made baskets or when we hear from our Independent Home Consultants who are living the Longaberger Dream.

We all come from different walks of life, however, we have something huge in common —a love for things that are uniquely American and your appreciation for the American worker and their craftsmanship. Together, we’re doing our part at Longaberger to rebuild America and supporting the American Dream.

Below, highlights some important facts about Longaberger products that you might not know. View our product line Today.

Longaberger Woven Traditions Beverageware
Craftsmanship
• Inspired by the timeless charm of Woven Traditions Pottery.
• Blends the distinctive look of Longaberger with the beauty of durable pressed glass.
• Unique basket weave design combines with an abstracted upsplint to coordinate beautifully with Woven Traditions Pottery and Flatware.
• Each bottom has a Woven “L” back stamp.

Quality
• Heavier pressed glass is more durable for everyday use than blown glass.
• The heavy base shams feel balanced in hand and provide stability.
• The tapered shape makes the tumblers easy to handle.

Care
• All Woven Traditions Beverageware is dishwasher safe.
• Avoid stacking as this may cause the glass to weaken and break.
• Avoid impact and extreme temperature changes.
• Do not expose glass to an open flame.
• To enhance the natural sparkle and luster of the glassware, rinse occasionally with a mild vinegar and water solution.

Function
• Smooth interior is great for easy clean up.
• The non-porous surface prevents stains or odor absorption.
• Because tumblers are made in molds that open and close, seams are a normal part of the product. To minimize the seams, they have been worked into the design and fire polished as smoothly as the process will allow without eliminating the details in the design.
• Embossed details are avoided near the rim in order to keep the lip area clean. As a result, any visible seam is more evident in this area.
• 8oz. size is excellent for juice and tapered shape is great for preschooler’s hands.The 17oz size is perfect for iced tea and soft drinks.

Longaberger Woven Traditions Flatware
Craftsmanship
• Subtle satin finish on 4.2 mm gauge, 18⁄10 Stainless Steel.
• Polished and buffed fork tines.
• Knife contains a forged high carbon steel blade for a sharp, long-lasting cutting edge.
• Balanced design feels comfortable in the hand while cutting, piercing or serving.

Quality
• 18⁄10 Stainless Steel is the best quality stainless steel available. It contains 18% chromium that provides resistance to staining rusting and corrosion, and 10% nickel produces luster and shine.
• The heavy 4.2 mm gauge offers extra thickness and weight to give flatware a great “hand” feel.
• The smooth finish looks beautiful and allows food particles to be washed away easily.

Care
• All flatware is stain resistant and dishwasher safe.
• Avoid using detergents containing lemon, as they can cause harm to flatware surfaces.
• Wash flatware after each use. Prolonged contact with harsh acidic food can cause discoloration and corrosion. Never let your flatware soak overnight.
• Wash stainless steel separately from aluminum, sterling or sliver plate.
• If discoloration develops due to hardwater, use a stainless steel cleaner and follow its instructions for use.

Function
• This flatware is durable enough for everyday use, yet versatile enough for special occasions.
• The bottom edge of the flatware resembles the end of a basket trim strip.
• The raised ball and petal ornamentation is a stylish tie-in to other Woven Tradition pieces.
• Knife handles are made from two pieces of metal brazed together, creating exceptional balance and hand feel.

Longaberger Stoneware and Wrought Iron – Facts to Know

At Longaberger, the American spirit thrives! We see it everyday, when we walk the basketmaking floor at our basket factory, where we’re working hard to create the finest-quality hand-made baskets or when we hear from our Independent Home Consultants who are living the Longaberger Dream.

We all come from different walks of life, however, we have something huge in common —a love for things that are uniquely American and your appreciation for the American worker and their craftsmanship. Together, we’re doing our part at Longaberger to rebuild America and supporting the American Dream.

Below, highlights some important facts about Longaberger products that you might not know. View our product line Today.

Longaberger High Quality Stoneware
Features
• Longaberger offers only the finest Stoneware Pottery and is fired at high temperatures to achieve a bisque quality and to assure durability.
• Although it is fired to a lower temperature than vitrified pottery, the clay body has a 2-4% absorption rate anywhere that it is not covered by glaze.
• The lower firing temperature allows a much broader glaze color palette, allowing fresh, new hand painted decorations that are not possible for vitrified pottery. The composition of stoneware allows for highly detailed and brightly colored designs.
• Our stoneware is safe for use in the microwave and dishwasher.

Good Things to Know
• After the first firing, the bisque is decorated to exact Longaberger design specifications and colors.
• A second firing process seals in the color and then a third firing takes place with glazing applied to finish the stoneware pottery
• Each piece is quality controlled and inspected at the factory origin.
• Our Stoneware accessories are lead free and comply with FDA and Prop 65 rules and regulations.
• The backstamp on each item distinguishes whether or not the item is vitrified pottery or high quality stoneware. The High Quality Stoneware backstamp states that the item is microwave and dishwasher safe, while the Vitrified Backstamp states that the item is oven, microwave, dishwasher, and freezer safe.

Care
Why can’t I use my high quality stoneware in the oven? Even though Longaberger’s Stoneware has been fired to a low absorption rate, some water from dishwashing can still be absorbed through the unglazed surfaces of the pottery in an oven, it will expand, causing stresses within the pottery. Overtime these stresses can lead to premature cracking, chipping, or crazing

Care

Although sealed from the elements, your wrought iron accessory could use an occasional application of furniture polish to help prevent the formation of rust. However, if rust appears use a fine steel wool to polish off the rusted area.
If using your wrought iron accessory in humid conditions, we recommend using Johnson’s® Floor Wax or Future® Floor Wax.

Longaberger Pottery – Facts You Should Know

At Longaberger, the American spirit thrives! We see it everyday, when we walk the basketmaking floor at our basket factory, where we’re working hard to create the finest-quality hand-made baskets or when we hear from our Independent Home Consultants who are living the Longaberger Dream.

Below, highlights some important facts about Longaberger Pottery that you might not know. View our product line Today.

Longaberger Pottery

Vitrified Pottery

Features
• Vitrified, non-porous body created from special raw materials and extreme firing temperatures.
• High quality glazes.
• Exclusive ball and petal motif and embossed weave pattern.
• Available in décor-friendly colors.

Benefits
• Vitreous pottery is stronger than typical stoneware so it resists chipping, cracking, and crazing better. It is safe for the dishwasher, oven, microwave, and freezer.
• High quality glazes provide a beautiful yet durable finish that makes clean up a breeze.
• Trademark designs and logos symbolize our commitment to high quality, longlasting pieces that coordinate with both Pottery and Fabric pieces.
• Pottery colors coordinate perfectly with any decorating style for everyday use, and can be dressed up for formal entertaining. It allows customers to mix and match with the comfort of knowing that their pottery complements each piece and adds a splash of color.

Care
• For baked-on goods, allow the pottery to soak in hot, soapy water and clean with a non-abrasive scouring pad.
• Using metal utensils, such as beaters or whisks, can cause black / gray marks (called metal marks) to form on the surface of the pottery because the crystals in our glaze are harder than the metal in the utensils. To remove these marks, use a non-abrasive cleaner such as Bar Keeper’s Friend or Zud.
• Even though our pottery goes through an extra foot polishing step, scratches may still occur due to stacking or use. These marks will show as a white line that contrasts with the glaze color.
• Do not use Longaberger Pottery on top of the stove, under the broiler, or over an open flame. Avoid extreme temperature changes; pottery pieces can safely be taken from the refrigerator and placed directly into a preheated oven or from the freezer to a cold oven for heating.

Good Things to Know
• Most pottery pieces are hand finished to remove mold seams, giving them that hand-touched, quality finish.
• Place your pottery in the freezer or oven prior to serving to keep cold foods cold or hot foods hot.
• Solid Color Pottery requires more glaze to be applied to achieve the rich color and is fired on its foot (free from glaze) to avoid sticking to the kiln shelf during firing.
• Pottery that has been heated up to temperatures of 400º F can be safely placed directly into Longaberger Baskets. Pottery that is 300º For less can be safely placed into baskets with liners. Hot pottery should not be placed directly into a plastic protector.
• Your Longaberger pottery is oven safe, which means it can go from room temperature to a hot oven or from a refrigerator to a cold oven. It is not oven proof, which allows for an item to go from freezer to hot oven and withstand extreme temperature changes quickly.
• Unglazed areas are completely food safe as all Longaberger Pottery pieces are fully vitrified. There is no porosity in the fired clay body, so there is no place for bacteria to grow, even in unglazed areas.
• Pottery making is similar to basket making in two critical ways: there are variations in the raw materials since they’re obtained from nature, and many of the processes used to make the pottery are still done by hand. This means that no two pieces of pottery are exactly alike.
• Variations in design, color, and texture help ensure that each piece is unique in character and a true one-of-a-kind Longaberger collectible.
• Longaberger Pottery, like our hand-made baskets, are made to be used, cherished, and handed down.
