Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions - Because the base is absorbent, do not leave it wet for long periods of time. This may cause stains, mold, and odors. - Using metal scrubbers or detergents containing abrasives may scratch the surface. - Due to the characteristics of the clay and glaze used as raw materials, there will be slight differences in the size, shape, color, texture, and weight of each piece. - Mold will form if the piece absorbs too much moisture. - Fine cracks will appear on the surface with use. This is a characteristic unique to ceramics called crazing. The color of the clay will show through the cracks, making white particularly noticeable. - Prices may be revised or adjusted by the artist or pottery manufacturer. Things to Know Before Purchasing The unique character of each piece of pottery is created by mottling, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations not found in mass-produced items. Handmade pottery is not perfectly uniform, with pinholes, crazing, or distortions. Each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two pieces are exactly alike. This is the charm of handmade pottery. These are also the unique characteristics of handmade pottery, so enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter. [Individual Differences] Since each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, and color. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the application may not be uniform. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other Notes] Once products have passed inspection by the potter or artist, they are inspected again before being delivered to customers.■For more information, please click here.
