Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, or dish dryers.** **2. Do not use steel wool or abrasive cleaners, as they may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge.** **1. Some products feature hand-applied glazes, resulting in variations in color depth and richness. ** **2. As these are handmade items, they may not have the uniform size of mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces might occasionally show signs of glaze drips or minor imperfections from adjustments, which will be clearly indicated in product photos and descriptions. We kindly request that those seeking absolute perfection reconsider, and instead embrace and appreciate the unique characteristics of handcrafted items.** **3. Due to the presence of minerals, ceramics may exhibit small pores, air bubbles, or small iron spots and crystalline formations. These are natural phenomena resulting from firing at high temperatures.** **4. Due to potential color variations on consumers' 3C screens and the natural variations during the firing process, there may be slight color differences between the products displayed on this website and the actual items received. The color of the received item will be considered the final product.** **Designed and Handcrafted by Taiwanese Artisans or Collaboratively Produced**
