Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers. ** **2. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers to clean, as this may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge.** **1. Some items are hand-glazed, and the glaze color may vary due to the depth of the glaze material.** **2. Some items are handmade and may not have the uniform size of mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally show signs of glaze drips or minor polishing marks. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. We kindly ask that those who seek absolute perfection refrain from purchasing, and instead consider ordering if you can appreciate and accept the unique characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, small pores, bubbles, or small iron spots and crystalline formations may appear. These are natural phenomena resulting from firing at high temperatures.** **4.
