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. Handmade tableware has pinholes, crazing, and distortions, and is not perfectly uniform. Each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two pieces are exactly alike. This is the charm of handmade tableware. 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, thickness, 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 coloring. [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.
