Handmade pottery is not perfectly uniform; each piece has slight variations in color, size, and shape, and there are pinholes, crazing, and distortions. The charm of handmade pottery lies in the fact that no two pieces are exactly alike. These are also the unique characteristics of handmade pottery, so enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
