Not suitable for use in ovens, microwave ovens, or dishwashers/dryers.** **2. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers to clean, as this may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge.** **1. Some products are hand-glazed, and the glaze color varies due to the depth of the glaze material.** **2. Some items are handmade, so they may not have the same dimensions as machine-produced items. Wood-fired works may occasionally have traces of glaze drips that have been polished and repaired. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. Those who seek perfection are kindly asked to consider purchasing only if they can accept and appreciate the characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content of ceramics, localized small pits, air bubbles, or small iron spots that form crystalline structures are natural phenomena after firing at high temperatures.** **4. Due to color differences in consumer 3C screens and natural variations during the firing process, there may be slight color differences between the products listed on this website and the actual delivered items. Therefore, the color of the delivered item will prevail.** **Designed and handcrafted by Taiwanese artisans or commissioned for mass production**
