The grade argument

Not all “porcelain” is the same tier.

The hotelware market sells two very different materials under one word. LAZZARO High Performance Porcelain is the alumina-vitrified grade — the class the leading UK houses call “alumina vitrified” or “fine china” — not the standard porcelain sold at commodity prices.
