Things to Know Before Purchasing The unique character of each piece is created by spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations not found in mass-produced items. The charm of handmade tableware lies in the fact that each piece has slight variations in color, size, and shape, and there are no two pieces that are exactly the same, including pinholes, crazing, and distortion. These are just some of the unique characteristics of handmade pottery, so enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter. [Individual Differences] Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in shape, size, and thickness. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since the glaze is applied by hand, it may not be evenly applied, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the firing area of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other Notes] 〇Some items may have uneven glaze or noticeable black spots. 〇 Products that have passed inspection by the kiln or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■For more information, please click here.
