Even within the same design, subtle variations will exist between individual pieces. ● Wood-fired pieces are truly one of a kind. Even with similar ash glazing, the resulting colors will differ, so don't miss out if you find one you love! ● The rich, layered colors of ceramic works are difficult to fully capture in flat photographs. We strive to present the most accurate representation, but variations in computer screen displays may lead to slight color differences. Please consider the actual product as the primary reference. — Care Instructions — ● Suitable for hot water and food; avoid direct flame heating (e.g., with an alcohol lamp or gas stove) to prevent cracking or damage. ● Clean with soft materials (e.g., sponge, natural loofah); avoid abrasive materials (e.g., steel wool, sandpaper) that could scratch the surface. — A Tale of Wood Firing — https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2805/33343940793_f95db781ca_b.jpg Through the continuous firing for 4 days and 4 nights by master craftsmen, relying on their experience to judge the timing and amount of wood to control the temperature, this ancient and nearly lost technique requires significant time and effort. **Each piece is the only one of its kind in the world; it is impossible to fire a second identical piece, making it a collectible treasure.** Wood-fired works are not glazed. Instead, the natural falling ash from the wood firing imparts a beautiful, naturally non-toxic exterior to each piece.
