| Product characteristics/ Handling precautions |
・It is a water-absorbing earthenware item baked with china clay. Even if the same technique is used to make clay items, each piece will have a slightly different color, shape, and size due to the effects of the natural minerals contained in the soil and glaze. ・There may be pinholes, and the pattern and color may differ. ・There are black spots called iron spots throughout. ・Recommended for those who want to enjoy the warm texture that is unique to handmade products, each with a different look. ・Penetration (cracks in the surface glaze) may occur during the use process , but this is not a crack or damage and does not affect use. ・As you use it, it may become colored or darken over time. We hope you enjoy the change over time as a flavor. ・Prices may be reviewed or revised depending on the artist or pottery. |

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.
