Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions - Please refrain from using cleansers or nylon scrubbing pads. - As the base is not glazed, be sure to use a mat when using it on a delicate surface. - As this is a handmade product, there will be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc. - Pinholes, patterns, and colors may be visible. - Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture of handmade items, each with its own unique look. - Because it is non-absorbent, it is resistant to stains, mold, and other dirt, making it easy to handle. - When placed on a table, you may notice some rattle, but this does not affect use. - Crazing (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during use, but this is not cracking or damage and will not interfere with use. - Prices may be revised or adjusted depending on the artist or potter. 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.
