The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please ensure you can accept these before ordering: - **Form Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, actual product dimensions may vary by approximately **±1-1.5cm** from the photographs, and the exterior curves may also show slight differences. - **Glaze Variations**: Glazes naturally flow during the firing process, which can result in variations in luster, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black specks (mineral deposits in the clay), crazing (fine crackle lines), granular texture, or traces of dye may be present on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancies**: Photographs are influenced by lighting conditions and individual monitor settings. Please refer to the **actual product** for accurate color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and maintain the beauty of your ceramic pieces, we suggest the following: - **First Use**: It is recommended to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Use**: Can be used in the microwave, 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 and high temperatures, which can cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid **sudden and extreme temperature changes** (e.g., hot to cold) to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Aging**: White or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and staining marks over time. These are natural signs of use and aging for ceramics and do not affect functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In support of environmental sustainability and to ensure safe delivery, our daily shipments are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
