Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. 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 damage and does not affect 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 is things that cannot be seen in mass-produced items, such as spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape. 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 hand-painted, there may be individual differences in shape, size, pattern, color, etc. [Iron powder] After firing, you can see iron powder appearing as black spots on the surface of the pottery, which is one of the characteristics of pottery. [Other notes] 〇There are fine crack patterns called penetrations and pinholes. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
