Even though ceramic is highly durable, dust that builds up in raised details, crackle-glaze lines, or small crevices can dull a piece's shine and overall appearance over time. Strong impact or poor placement is also a common cause of chipping, even on well-fired, high-quality ceramic pieces.

1. Dust regularly — Gently wipe petals and stamens with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Aim for once or twice a week to prevent long-term dust buildup.
2. Rinse with water when needed — For glossy-glazed porcelain flowers, you can rinse directly under gentle running water, wipe dry with a soft cloth, and let it air-dry completely in a well-ventilated spot.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals — Skip highly corrosive cleaning agents, as they can dull the glaze over time.
4. Get into fine details — For flowers with many small petals, use a soft brush (an old makeup brush works well) to reach dust in tight crevices a cloth can't reach.

1. Dust with a soft cloth — Clean regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth, wiping gently along the direction of the raised details to avoid chipping sharp edges.
2. Use a soft brush for deep details — For heavily textured areas (petals, leaf patterns), use a soft-bristled brush or a mini vacuum with a soft brush attachment to clean dust from recessed areas.
3. Avoid scrubbing crackle-glaze lines directly — For pieces with crackle glaze, avoid rubbing hard objects directly over the cracked lines, which can push dirt deeper into the crevices.
4. Don't spray water directly on wall-mounted pieces — For framed, wall-hung pieces, use a lightly damp wipe rather than spraying water directly, to protect the frame and wall.

• Avoid strong impact: Place porcelain flowers in a stable spot, away from areas where children or pets might bump into them. For relief art, use a wall mount and frame rated for the piece's actual weight.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes: Keep pieces away from heaters, stovetops, or prolonged direct harsh sunlight, as sudden temperature shifts can affect the glaze over time.
• Keep in a dry, well-ventilated space: While ceramic handles moisture far better than most materials, a dry environment still helps preserve the glaze's shine longer.
• Use a non-slip pad: For porcelain flowers displayed on shelves or tables, a non-slip pad helps prevent shifting that could lead to accidental falls.

• Don't use hard or sharp objects to pick out dust lodged in cracks or raised details.
• Avoid rubbing rough paper towels directly on glossy glaze, which can cause minor scratching over time.
• Don't drag pieces when moving them — lift with both hands, supporting the base or frame securely.
• Don't let relief art come into direct contact with rain if displayed in a semi-outdoor area without cover.
