Things to know before purchasing
The unique character of each piece of pottery is created by features not found in mass-produced items, such as spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape variations. Handmade pottery is not perfectly uniform, and each piece has slight variations in color, size, and shape, with pinholes, crazing, and distortion. The charm of handmade pottery lies in the fact that 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] 
Since each item is handmade, there may be individual differences in color, size, shape, and pattern. [Color Variations/Baking Variations] 
Since the glaze is carefully applied by hand, the glaze may not be evenly applied, resulting in uneven color. [Other Notes] 
〇As shown in the photo, there may be a series of marks on the painting.
〇Products that have passed inspection by the potter or artist are inspected again before being delivered to customers.
