Product characteristics/Handling precautions ・As it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process, but this is not a crack or breakage, so there is no problem with use. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. Things you should know before purchasing What creates the expression of pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, thickness, pattern, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇There is a fine crack pattern called intrusion, but this is one of the characteristics of pottery, so there is no problem in using it. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
