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 piece is hand-painted by a craftsman, the shading of each pattern may vary. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Since the glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly, resulting in uneven color. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.
