The charm of handmade pottery lies in the fact that each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and that they are not perfectly uniform. They may have pinholes, crazing, or distortions. Enjoy the unique qualities of handmade pottery, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. [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 color. The firing temperature also varies depending on the firing location in the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.
