Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers.** **2. Do not use abrasive scrubbers to clean, as this may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge brush.** **1. Some products are hand-glazed, and the glaze color varies due to the depth of the glaze material.** **2. Some items are handmade, so they may not be uniform in size like mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally have slight imperfections such as glaze drips or marks from polishing. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. We kindly ask that those who seek absolute perfection refrain from purchasing, and instead consider ordering if you can appreciate and accept the characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, small pores, bubbles, or small iron spots and crystalline formations may appear in certain areas. These are natural phenomena resulting from high-temperature firing.** **4. Due to color variations in consumer electronic 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.** **Designed and handcrafted in Taiwan or commissioned for mass production**
