The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade ceramics, not defects. Please ensure you can accept these before placing an order: - **Variations in Form**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, there may be an approximate **±1-1.5cm** difference in size compared to the photos, and slight variations in the outward curves. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes naturally flow during firing, which can result in varying luster, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black spots (mineral impurities in the clay), crazing (fine crackling), granular texture, or staining marks may appear on the surface. - **Screen Color Differences**: Photographs are affected by lighting and individual screen settings. Please refer to the **actual product** for color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and maintain the quality of your ceramic ware, 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 Heating**: This item can be used in the microwave, but please **avoid dry heating** or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning and Care**: **Dishwasher use is not recommended**. We suggest hand washing with a mild detergent and allowing it to air dry naturally. Avoid strong water jets and high temperatures, which can cause fine lines to appear on the glaze. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over a flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Please avoid **extreme temperature changes** (sudden hot or cold), as this can cause cracks due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: With prolonged use, white or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and staining marks. These are natural signs of aging and use for ceramic ware and do not affect functionality.
