Not suitable for use in ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers/dryers.** **2. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers to clean, as this may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge.** **1. Some products feature hand-applied glazes, resulting in variations in color depth due to the glaze material.** **2. As some items are handcrafted, they may not have the uniform size of machine-made products. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally show signs of glaze drips that have been polished and smoothed. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. We kindly request that those seeking absolute perfection refrain from purchasing, and instead consider ordering if you can accept and appreciate the unique characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, minor imperfections such as small pores, air bubbles, or small iron spot crystals may appear in localized areas. These are natural phenomena resulting from firing at high temperatures.** **4. Due to color variations on consumer 3C screens and natural changes during the firing process, there may be slight color differences between the products listed on this website and the actual items received. Therefore, the color of the delivered item will prevail.** **Taiwanese Artisan Designed, Handcrafted or Commissioned Mass Production**
