Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions ・Because each piece is handmade, there are slight variations in color, shape, size, thickness, and other characteristics. ・As you use it, the color and texture will change over time. ・Pinholes and variations in pattern and color may be found. ・Recommended for those who enjoy the warm texture unique to handmade items, each with its own unique character. ・Prices may be subject to revision or adjustment 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. Handmade pottery is charming in that it 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. These are also 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] The glaze is applied by hand, so it may not be evenly applied. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the firing area of the kiln, resulting in uneven coloring. [Other Notes] 〇Small stones may protrude from the soil, or noticeable iron powder may be present. 〇 As a characteristic of genuine Kohiki pottery, there may be areas that appear to be cracks. 〇 Black lines, as shown in the photo, may be visible due to the manufacturing process. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery manufacturer or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■For more information, please click here.
