Handmade Ceramic Small Notch Cup Incense Holder, Incense Dish, Incense Stick Holder

**【About the Product】** | Material | Imported American sculpting clay | Use | Incense holder / Desktop ornament | Dimensions | Diameter 10 × Height 7 cm (±2 cm) | Production Origin | Taiwan ※ About Use: The opening of this incense holder features a curved design. Depending on the thickness of the incense stick, the angle at which it stands will vary slightly. We recommend adjusting it to find the most suitable tilt when in use; the deep bowl design generally catches most of the ash. ※ Cleaning Recommendations: If ash adheres, gently brush it off with a dry cloth or rinse with clean water, then allow it to dry completely. As the unglazed surface has pores, avoid contact with colored liquids to prevent staining. ※ Handmade Characteristics: Each incense holder is individually crafted on the potter's wheel, making every piece unique with subtle variations in size, the curvature of folds, and the distribution of clay color. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is handmade. Due to the natural shrinkage of clay and the flow of glazes during firing, the actual product may not be identical to the photos. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery, not defects. Please ensure you can accept these before placing your order: - **Form Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, actual product dimensions may have an error of approximately **±1-1.5cm** compared to the photos, and the outer curves may also show slight differences. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes naturally flow during firing, which can result in variations in sheen, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Marks**: Occasional black spots (mineral inclusions in the clay), crazing (fine cracks), grainy textures, or color marks may appear on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancy**: Photos are influenced by lighting conditions and individual screen settings. Please refer to the **actual shipped product** for color and style accuracy. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the life and preserve the quality of your ceramic ware, we recommend the following: - **Initial Use**: It is advised to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: Can be placed in a microwave, but **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 high-pressure water streams and high temperatures, which can cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock Caution**: Avoid **sudden changes in temperature** (extreme hot and cold) to prevent the pottery from cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: White or light-colored ware may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and slight staining over time with use. These are natural signs of aging and use for ceramics and do not affect functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In line with environmental consciousness and to ensure safe transport, our daily shipments are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
