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, shading, and shape variations. 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, and color. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since the glaze is applied by hand, the application may not be uniform. When firing, temperatures vary depending on where in the kiln they are fired, resulting in uneven firing. [Other Notes] 〇 Some pieces may have pinholes or uneven glaze, as shown in the photo. 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.
