Even if the same technique is used to make clay items, each piece will have a slightly different color, shape, and size due to the effects of the natural minerals contained in the soil and glaze. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・There are black spots called iron spots throughout. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・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. ・As you use it, it may become colored or darken over time. We hope you enjoy the change over time as a flavor. ・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 differences] Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, color, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] The glaze is carefully applied by hand, so the glaze is not uniform and the texture may vary, such as glossy or matte. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇Some have glaze splatters, and some have noticeable unevenness in the soil. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
