Due to the natural shrinkage of clay and the flow of glazes during firing, the actual item may not be exactly identical to the photographs. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please ensure you are comfortable with these before placing your order: - **Variations in Form**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, actual dimensions may have an error of approximately **±1-1.5cm** compared to the photos, and the curves of the form may also exhibit slight differences. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes flow naturally during the firing process, which can result in variations in sheen, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Marks**: Occasional black spots (mineral deposits in the clay), crazing (fine crackle patterns), granular textures, or staining marks may be present on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancy**: Photographs are influenced by lighting conditions and individual screen settings. Please refer to the **actual product received** for accurate color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and preserve the beauty of your ceramic ware, we recommend the following: - **First Use**: It is advisable to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: The item is microwave-safe, but please **avoid dry heating** or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher use is not recommended**. Hand wash with a mild detergent and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid strong water jets or high temperatures, which can cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not use over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid **sudden changes in temperature** (extreme hot or cold) to prevent the pottery from cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: Over time, white or light-colored pieces may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and staining. These are natural signs of use and the passage of time for ceramics, and they do not affect functionality.
