Due to the natural shrinkage of clay and the fluidity of glazes during firing, there may be slight variations between the actual product and the photos. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade ceramics, not defects. Please ensure you are comfortable with these before purchasing: - **Dimensional Variations**: Due to hand-shaping and kiln shrinkage, actual dimensions may vary by approximately **±1-1.5cm** from the stated measurements, and the curvature may also differ slightly. - **Glaze Variations**: Glazes naturally flow during the firing process, which can result in variations in sheen, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black specks (mineral inclusions in the clay), crazing (fine crackle patterns), granular texture, or slight staining may be present on the surface. - **Screen Color Differences**: Product photos are influenced by lighting and individual monitor settings. Please refer to the **actual product** for accurate color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To prolong the life and maintain the beauty of your ceramic ware, we suggest the following: - **First Use**: It is recommended to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: This item is microwave-safe. However, please **avoid dry heating** or overheating for extended periods. - **Cleaning and Care**: **Dishwasher use is not recommended**. Hand wash with a mild detergent and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid high-pressure water streams or high temperatures, which can cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over a flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid **sudden and drastic temperature changes** (extreme hot and cold) to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and subtle staining. These are natural signs of use and the passage of time, and do not affect the functionality of the piece.
