Things to Know Before Purchasing
The unique character of each piece is created by features not found in mass-produced items, such as spots, fading, uneven glaze, shading, and shape warping. The charm of handmade pottery lies in the fact that each piece is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and that they are not perfectly uniform. There are pinholes, crazing, or distortions. Enjoy the unique qualities of handmade pottery, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. [Individual Differences] 
Because each piece is handmade, there will be individual differences in shape, size, and color. [Color Variations/Firing Variations] 
Since the glaze is applied by hand, the application may not be uniform. During firing, temperatures vary depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing.
[Other Notes] Once products have passed inspection by the kiln or artist, they are inspected again before being delivered to customers.
