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 piece is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, thickness, and color. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the application may be uneven, resulting in uneven coloring. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] ○ Products that have passed inspection by the kiln owner or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■ For more information, please click here.
