THE SANTO ATELIER Butterfly Dish Housewarming Gift

The angled lines on the rim are traces of hand-carving, each varying in depth, imbuing the piece with the artisan's touch. Combined with the granular texture of the Zisha clay, it feels like caressing old tree bark. Zisha is naturally porous yet waterproof, ideal for holding dried fruits or pastries without trapping odors. After daily use, a simple rinse with water is all it needs, and over time, it will develop a warm, lustrous patina. Whether you're indulging in a quiet moment of self-appreciation or presenting treats to guests, this dish elevates ordinary moments into an experience of being thoughtfully cared for. ● Handle with care, avoid impacts: Although the dish is stable (weighing 619 grams), the carved rim and central butterfly are delicate handmade details that can be easily damaged by impact. It is recommended to support the bottom of the dish when picking it up, rather than pinching the rim with one hand. Delicate care during cleaning ● Rinse immediately, do not use chemical cleaners: After each use, rinse the dish surface with warm water, paying special attention to the grooves of the butterfly relief and the angled lines to prevent tea stains or food residue from drying and hardening. Absolutely avoid using chemical cleaners such as dish soap or bleach, as they can damage the natural pore structure of Zisha and the surface patina. ● Gently wipe with a soft cloth, avoid scratching with hard objects: After cleaning, gently pat dry with a soft cotton cloth or a specialized tea ware cloth, wiping along the direction of the carved lines to avoid scratching the embossed details. For stubborn stains, you can try making a paste of baking soda and a little water, gently rub, and then rinse clean. adheres. *Handmade characteristics: Each piece is hand-thrown, hand-glazed, and fired at a high temperature of 1240°C. Therefore, there will be unique variations in the subtle curvature of the shape, the sharp lines of the joining points, and the flow and thickness distribution of the matte glaze. Due to the handmade process and high-temperature firing, the vessel may not be perfectly round. During high-temperature firing, natural trace amounts of iron in the clay may cause small black spots or iron flecks to appear on the glaze. The foot of the bowl has been hand-wiped to maintain an unglazed, bare earth state. The edges of the base have been carefully polished. Slight traces of hand-finishing and a stable, slightly rough feel are normal. Each handmade mark is a testament to its unique soul. If you prefer perfectly symmetrical, flawless industrial products, please consider your purchase carefully.
