Things to know before purchasing The unique character of each piece of pottery is created by features not found in mass-produced items, such as spots, fading, uneven glaze, variations in shade, shape, and pattern. Handmade pottery is not perfectly uniform, with pinholes, crazing, distortions, and other imperfections. 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 color, size, shape, and pattern. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since the glaze is carefully applied by hand, the application may not be uniform, resulting in uneven color. [Other Notes] 〇 Products that have passed inspection by the potter or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■For more information, please click here.
