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, etc. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] Since each piece is carefully hand-painted, slight variations in the design and color shading may be present.
