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 differences] Because it is handmade, there may be slight individual differences in shape, size, thickness, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since each piece is painted by hand, the pattern may not be uniform. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.
