[Individual differences] Because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Because the glaze is applied by hand, it may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇Some items may have black spots or ink spots. ○There is a difference in the pattern between the inside and outside. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.
