Morning Mist White Handmade Ceramic Mug

**【About the Product】** | Material | Japanese imported ceramic clay, food-grade non-toxic lead-free glaze | Dimensions | Approx. Φ8.5cm x H7cm (±1-1.5cm natural variation from hand-throwing) | Production Origin | Taiwan, handcrafted by hand-throwing ※ **About Use**: The interior and exterior are uniformly glazed. The glaze presents a textured matte finish, which is more delicate and softer than regular glossy glaze. ※ **Cleaning Suggestions**: After use, please wash promptly with clean water or neutral dish soap, using a soft sponge. Allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. It is recommended not to scrub with steel wool or rough scouring pads. Due to the extremely fine natural pores on the matte glaze surface, it is more prone to absorbing coloring agents than regular glossy glaze. Please keep dry during daily storage. 𐃢𐃡 **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is handcrafted by hand-throwing and glazing, then fired at a high temperature of 1230°C. Due to clay shrinkage and the flow of glaze at high temperatures, the actual product may not be exactly the same as the photo. The following situations are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please confirm you can accept these before placing an order: - Shape and Size: Hand-shaping and kiln shrinkage can cause size variations of approximately ±1–1.5cm. Under the influence of trimming and high temperatures, the rim and lines may exhibit a natural, slight curve that is **not absolutely circular or straight**, which is a normal trace of handcrafting. - Glaze Color and Flow: The melting and flow of glaze at high temperatures can result in slight variations in thickness, changes in luster, or pinholes on the surface. Due to manual dipping and handling, **the inner wall or certain areas may show tiny marks from finger handling and glaze layering**. - Natural Clay Imprints: High-temperature firing can cause natural iron elements in the clay to appear as **extremely small black dots**. The surface may also have a slightly sandy texture or exhibit **natural fine crackling (craquelure)**. - Base Clay Treatment: To prevent sticking during kiln firing, a portion of the base remains unglazed, which has been carefully polished. If it shows trimming marks or a rustic feel, it does not affect safe daily use. - Screen Color Variance: Photos are affected by shooting light and individual screen displays. Please refer to the actual product color for accuracy. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and maintain the quality of your ceramic product, we recommend the following: - **First Use**: It is recommended to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours to help fill pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: Can be placed in the microwave, but please **avoid dry heating** or **prolonged overheating**. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher use is possible but not recommended**. Hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying is advised. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock Caution**: Please avoid **sudden drastic temperature changes** to prevent the pottery from cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: White or light-colored vessels may develop **craquelure (fine cracks)** and staining over time with use. These are natural signs of aging and use for ceramics and do not affect functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In line with environmental protection and to ensure safe delivery, our daily shipments are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
