Morning Mist White Handmade Ceramic Chasen Stand Matcha Whisk Holder

**【About the Product】** | Material | Imported Japanese porcelain clay, food-grade non-toxic lead-free glaze | Purpose | Drying, shaping, and storing chasen (tea whisk) | Dimensions | Top opening diameter approx. 3.5cm x Height 7cm (±1-1.5cm natural error from hand-throwing) | Production Origin | Hand-thrown in Taiwan This chasen stand is purely hand-thrown, not mass-produced by factory molds. The curved lines of the stand may have slight imperfections, not perfectly round or straight, and may show natural undulations from hand-shaping, trimming, and firing. ※ **About Usage**: The interior and exterior are uniformly glazed, presenting a textured matte finish. The texture is finer and softer than typical glossy glazes. ※ **Cleaning Recommendation**: After use, please rinse promptly with clean water or mild dish soap, gently clean with a sponge, and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid scrubbing with steel wool or rough scouring pads. Due to the extremely fine natural pores on the matte glaze surface, it may absorb pigments more readily than glossy glazes. Please keep dry during storage. 𐃢𐃡 **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is hand-thrown and glazed, then fired at a high temperature of 1230°C. Due to clay shrinkage and the flow of glaze at high temperatures, the actual product may not be perfectly identical to the photos. The following situations are considered normal characteristics of handmade ceramics and not defects. Please confirm your acceptance before placing an order: - Shape and Dimensions: Hand-shaping and kiln shrinkage may result in dimensions with an approximate ±1–1.5cm error. Under the influence of trimming and high temperatures, the rim and lines will exhibit a **natural slight curve, not perfectly circular or straight**, which are normal handcraft marks. - Glaze Color and Flow: The melting and flowing of glaze at high temperatures can cause slight variations in thickness, changes in luster, or pores (pinholes) on the surface. Due to manual dipping and handling for glazing, **small areas on the inner wall or parts of the exterior may show slight marks from finger placement and glaze layering**. - Natural Clay Markings: High-temperature firing can cause natural iron in the clay to appear as **extremely tiny black spots**. The surface may also have a slightly sandy texture or **natural fine crackling (craquelure)**. - Unglazed Bottom Treatment: To prevent sticking during kiln firing, a portion of the bottom remains unglazed and is carefully polished. If it exhibits trimming textures or a rustic feel, it does not affect safe daily use. - **Screen Color Difference**: Product photos are affected by lighting and individual screen displays. Please refer to the actual product color for the final purchase. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and maintain the aesthetic of your ceramic products, please refer to the following guidelines: - **First Use**: It is recommended to soak the ceramic ware in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: Can be placed in the microwave, but **avoid empty heating** or **overheating for extended periods**. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher use is possible but not recommended**. Hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying is advised. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over a flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid **drastic changes in temperature (extreme heat or cold)** to prevent cracks from thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: With prolonged use, white or light-colored ware may develop **crackling (crazing)** and staining marks. 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 protection and to ensure safe transit, our daily shipments are carefully protected with wrapping paper and honeycomb paper.
