Insufficient drying can lead to mold and odor. Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions ・Because it is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, and thickness. ・Pinholes, pattern placement, and color may vary. ・Recommended for those who appreciate the warm texture unique to handmade items, each with its own unique character. ・Small iron powder or paint spots may be found on the surface of the vessel, but it has passed the manufacturer's inspection standards and is in good condition for use. ・Prices may be subject to review or revision by the artist or pottery maker. Things to Know Before Purchasing The unique character of each piece of pottery is created by mottling, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations not found in mass-produced items. 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 carefully crafted by hand, slight variations in the design may be present. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] The application of the glaze and the thickness of the lines may not be uniform. [Other Notes] 〇Some items may have glaze spots. 〇Items that have passed inspection by the potter or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers. ■For more information, please click here.
