Things to Know Before Purchasing
The unique character of each piece is created by spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations not found in mass-produced items. The charm of handmade tableware lies in the fact that each piece has slight variations in color, size, and shape, and there are no two pieces that are exactly the same, including pinholes, crazing, and distortion. These are just some of the unique characteristics of handmade pottery, so enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter. [Individual Differences]
