Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of glass items are differences in shape, size, height, pattern, and the appearance of air bubbles. The unique charm of handmade products is that each item is unique and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter with the uniqueness of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] 
There are individual differences in shape, size, height, pattern, and appearance of air bubbles. 【pattern】 
The milky-white pattern was created using glass containing a special raw material, which takes advantage of the property of producing an opalescent color when exposed to sudden temperature changes. The patterns that emerge due to the craftsman's skillful temperature control vary from piece to piece. [Other notes] 
〇Some items have blue dye as shown in the photo. 
〇The lines that appear on the surface are a phenomenon in which there are substances that cannot be completely dissolved in the sand that is the raw material, and this appears as a streak-like pattern.
〇Some items have noticeable air bubbles or black spots. 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here. Characteristics of items and things you should understand when purchasing < /u>
