Therefore, please do not use them as tableware. Place decorative plates and ornaments in a safe, stable location. When storing (especially items containing gold or silver), gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth to remove dirt before carefully storing. ※ Tableware Items containing gold or silver should not be heated in a microwave or oven, as this can cause surface discoloration and potentially lead to fire. Thin teacups and yunomi (tea cups) conduct heat easily; be cautious of burns when handling. Multi-material tableware (ceramic mixed with metal or glass) is assembled with adhesives. Do not heat directly on a stove, induction cooktop, or in an oven. Do not place in a dish dryer. Earthenware is highly absorbent. Before use, soak in hot water to allow the clay to fill with moisture. This will prevent the earthenware from staining or absorbing odors from tea. Wash as soon as possible after use. Do not use detergents, scrub brushes, or hard-bristled brushes. Do not use a dishwasher, as this can damage the tableware surface. Use kitchen-specific detergent and a soft sponge to wash, then dry thoroughly with a kitchen cloth before storing. ※ Scratch Warning The bottom of Kutani ware porcelain is unglazed. If placed on lacquered floors, flower stands, shelves, or tables, it may scratch the surface. Always use a coaster or cloth pad. These pieces are not only works of art to be appreciated for the artisan's dedication, but using them in daily life can also bring joy and a beautiful spirit!
