During the hire period any breakages or losses are your full responsibility. The exact price charged for breakages will depend on the item in question.

The damages deposit will be refunded once the hire items are returned and checked.

Description of Crockery & Cleaning

As these items are vintage and fine china, they may show signs of age with possible pattern fading, marks etc. Some of the items match but most are mismatched. This may mean that sizes vary slightly.

Because of their fragile & delicate nature we ask that special care is taken when handling & storing items. Please remove all excess food & re package for their return. No washing up is required as we carefully hand wash them to preserve the gilt and patterns. We ask you politely, please do not put items in a dishwasher, microwave, or oven.
