sounds like a pain to me, especially if you do any wholesale at all because
that would make it more compliated for buyers to order from you and open
the door for all kinds of problems.
But, if you only retail, you can do whatever you want. If i was in the same
situation i would limit the porcelain to just a few items - the ones where
it really looks best, and maybe do those items only with porcelain to make
it simpler.
BTW why do you think porcelain would be a problem for oven ware? My
understanding is that it is better than many stonewares - but perhaps the
tech experts here will correct me...
