**【About the Product】** | Material | Imported American sculpting clay | Use | Incense holder / Tabletop ornament | Dimensions | Diameter 9 × Height 6 cm (±2 cm) | Origin | Taiwan ※ Cleaning Recommendation: If ash from incense adheres, gently brush it off with a dry cloth or rinse with water and allow to air dry completely. As the unglazed surface has pores, avoid contact with colored liquids to prevent staining. ※ Handmade Characteristics: Each incense holder is individually hand-thrown on the wheel, resulting in unique variations in size, petal curvature, and clay color distribution. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is handcrafted, and due to factors like clay shrinkage and glaze flow during firing, the actual product may not be identical to the photograph. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade ceramics, not defects, and should be confirmed before purchase: - **Dimensional Variations**: Due to hand shaping and kiln shrinkage, there may be an approximate **±1-1.5cm** difference in size between the actual product and the photograph, with slight variations in outline curves. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes naturally flow during firing, which can result in variations in sheen, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black spots (mineral impurities in the clay), crazing (fine cracks), grainy texture, or traces of coloring may appear on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancy**: Photographs are subject to lighting conditions and individual monitor settings. Please refer to the **actual product** for color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and preserve the quality of your ceramic items, please consider the following: - **First Use**: It is recommended to soak the ceramic in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Use**: Can be placed in the microwave, but **avoid empty heating** or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning & Maintenance**: **Dishwasher use is not recommended**. Hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry naturally. Avoid strong water jets and high temperatures that could cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Avoid **drastic temperature changes** (extreme cold to hot or vice versa) to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and staining. 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 protection and to ensure safe transit, all standard shipments are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
