| Kiln manufacturer's recommended maintenance | ・If you soak it in water for a while before use, it will prevent stains from getting in. ・After using the container, wash it as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odors. |
| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・Due to the characteristics of the overlay, the red and gold may peel off due to strong rubbing. ・Small black dots (iron powder) may be visible on the surface, but this is a result of the manufacturing process and is not a defective product. ・As it is finished by hand, each piece has a different look. ・Each piece has a different expression, such as the way the glaze is applied, uneven color, shading, and spots, and there are individual differences. ・There may be scratches that occur when stacking items, or black lines that look like scratches may appear if metal cutlery rubs strongly. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |
Things you should know before purchasing
What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. [Individual differences] 
Because each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in shape, size, thickness, etc. [Uneven color/uneven baking] 
Since the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 
〇Some items have uneven glaze as shown in the photo.
〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer.

What you need to know before purchasing
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.
