B-Grade

 In the catering industry, at parties and large events it does not matter whether the tableware is free of any defects. Wacken, Oktoberfest, Wasen, Fasching & Karneval, at folk festivals, funfairs and many other events, porcelain is allowed to have a glaze nose or a few dots. Hostels, hostels, tables and huts, everywhere where the loss of a piece of crockery should not cause great damage, people like to use second-choice porcelain.

Unfortunately, second-choice porcelain is always used in the production of porcelain. Many brands do not publish this in order to keep the price artificially high. We at Holst Porzellan find it irresponsible to simply destroy usable porcelain. And not only in the interest of the environment! There are people and companies who are grateful when they can save money and are happy to make concessions when it comes to appearance.

We classify our B-goods in two classes, because we do not sell C-goods. We differentiate between the types of damage and mark this on the article number with the addition B1 or B2.

B1: The crockery has slight visual defects, but these do not affect the usability. Glazes are irregular (gradients, pinholes, small dots, very small iron stains), or the body shows slight deformations.

B2: The crockery shows clear optical defects which do not affect the serviceability either. Exception: Scholarly porcelain (system crockery) has lost its exact stackability, cocottas & terrines do not close tightly, or the body shows clear deformations. Setting rings may be rough or interrupted. How serious a defect is is up to the viewer. Therefore we describe it with keywords on the article itself. You can find our second choice sale here.
