Calacatta Gold porcelain kitchen in Northbrook, Illinois.
Calacatta Gold porcelain with a 2.5-inch mitered edge, waterfalls on the island and a full-height backsplash.
Porcelain is made at very high heat, so it takes a hot pan, resists stains and never needs sealing. It is hard but brittle, which is why mitered edges and waterfalls call for careful cutting. A Northbrook kitchen, on the North Shore.
Calacatta Gold porcelain takes its look from Italian Calacatta marble, with gray and gold veins on white. Many of these slabs are made in Italy and Spain in very large sizes, which allows a waterfall island with few seams. Porcelain is hard but brittle, so mitered edges take careful cutting.
