The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please ensure you can accept these before placing an order: - **Form Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, actual product dimensions may have an error of approximately **±1-1.5 cm** compared to the photos. The outline and curves may also exhibit slight variations. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glaze naturally flows during firing, which can result in variations in luster, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black spots (mineral impurities in the clay), crazing (fine crackle lines), grainy texture, or slight staining may be present on the surface. - **Screen Color Differences**: Product photos are influenced by lighting and individual screen settings. Please refer to the **actual product** for color and style accuracy. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and maintain the quality of your ceramic pieces, 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**: **Can be placed in the microwave**, but avoid dry heating or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher safe**, but not recommended. If using a dishwasher, ensure items are placed securely to avoid collisions. Handwashing with mild detergent and air drying is generally recommended. - **No Open Flame**: Do not heat directly over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Avoid **sudden and extreme temperature changes** (both hot and cold) to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (glaze cracks)** and slight staining. These are natural signs of use and the passage of time with ceramics and do not affect functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In support of environmental sustainability and to ensure safe transit, our products are typically shipped with protective padding, including tissue paper and honeycomb wrap.
