• Subtleties of manufacture. World house-producers of such goods annually produce a limited number of products of each denomination. And first of all, this is due to the fact that many operations to create such dishes, in fact, are performed exclusively by hand.
• Luxury luxury dishes sold sets. Their size can be different, for example, a full set of tableware or just a coffee cup and saucer. One by one, such unique items can be purchased only in exceptional cases.

• High price - and this is one of the key features. It is made up of expensive materials of the manufacture itself, and because of the sophisticated technology of creating dishes and, of course, because of its class. This luxury tableware can not be sold in every store and at a low price.

This type of kitchen utensils have another feature. Elite dishes - this does not mean boring timeless classics. On the contrary, many of its manufacturers offer customers items of unusual color and shape.

Cookware premium class has its own varieties, as, indeed, all its other classes. In order to choose such expensive utensils correctly and in the future with pleasure to use it, you need to familiarize yourself with this classification.

So called utensils, which are used directly for cooking. In rare cases, the finished dishes in it and served on the table. Elite dishes of this category may be as follows:

• trays for ovens;
• pans;
• braziers;
• portion pots or tins;

• Teapots, sugar bowls, sauce bowls. These are small pieces of utensils that are necessarily sold in the kit. For example, a teapot with mugs and sugar bowl, and containers for sauce along with plates for second courses.

The high cost of luxury dishes is explained by the material of its manufacture. As it never use any cheap alloys, ordinary stainless steel or aluminum. Most often, manufacturers offer buyers utensils made of the following compositions.

• Porcelain. It's no secret that it is the handmade porcelain tea sets that are considered the most elite, expensive and chic. So, today's craftsmen make tableware from this material.

If we talk about the shape of the dishes, then it is also very, very diverse. Usually it is kitchenware that has a classic shape. But the dining room can be:

• triangular;
• oval;
• square;
• beveled;
• combined.

Even the working part of forks, knives and spoons sometimes has the shape of a pear or shell, strongly elongated or, conversely, rounded. It all depends on the policy of the brand itself, the style in which he produces his dishes, as well as the inspiration and desire of the master himself, who is engaged in its direct manufacture. There are no strict restrictions on the form of premium class dishes. On the contrary, the more unusual it is, the more expensive it is and the higher it is valued.

If you need to purchase such utensils for yourself, then first of all you need to pay attention to such brands.

In order to purchase truly high-quality and original premium-class utensils and enjoy it for many years, it is necessary to take a very responsible approach to its choice. And for this it is necessary to observe the following recommendations.

• It is necessary to choose only proven brands. This can help either the above mini-rating, or specialized forums.
• It is best to buy utensils directly from the manufacturer or through a time-tested broker.
• You can make a purchase only if the purchased product has all the necessary certificates of quality and conformity.
• Before buying, you should carefully examine each item set or service. An experienced manufacturer will not allow marriage in the production of such elite dishes.

It is important to pay attention to what the utensil itself is intended for - for preparing or serving dishes on the table. Be sure to examine whether it is suitable for a specific type of plate or not. Failure to comply with this rule may cause quick disappointment in the purchase, as the dishes will simply become worthless.

And the key selection criterion still has to be cost. An eminent brand that really produces luxury dishes from real and expensive materials will never sell goods at a loss. And even during sales, the price of his dishes cannot be lower than the market average.
