The actual product may not be perfectly identical to the photographs. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please ensure you can accept these before placing your order: - **Variations in Form**: Due to hand-shaping and kiln shrinkage, there may be an approximate **±1-1.5cm** difference in dimensions compared to the product photos. Slight variations in the curvature of the form are also possible. - **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), granular texture, or traces of staining may be present on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancy**: Photographs are affected by lighting 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 pieces, we recommend the following: - **Initial Use**: It is suggested to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: This item is microwave-safe, 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. Avoid high-pressure water streams and extreme temperatures, which can cause fine lines on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid drastic **changes in temperature** (sudden cold or heat) to prevent the ceramic from 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 the passage of time for ceramics and do not affect functionality.
