Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions - Because these are handmade, individual variations in color, shape, size, and thickness may occur. - Pinholes may be present, and the pattern and color may vary. - Because these pieces are non-absorbent, they are resistant to stains, mold, and other contaminants, making them easy to care for. - Crazing (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during use, but this is not a crack or damage and does not affect use. - Prices may be revised or adjusted by the artist or potter. Things to Know Before Purchasing The unique character of each piece is created by features not found in mass-produced items, such as spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape warping. 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. [Other Notes] Once products have passed inspection by the kiln or artist, they are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■For more information, please click here.
