Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, dishwashers/dryers.** **2. Do not use abrasive scrubbers to clean, to avoid scratching the ceramic glaze. Please use a soft cloth or sponge brush.** **1. Some items are hand-glazed; glaze colors may vary due to the depth of the glaze material.** **2. Some items are handmade, so their size may not be perfectly uniform like mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally show marks from glaze drips that have been polished. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. If you are looking for absolute perfection or are overly particular, please consider purchasing only if you can appreciate and accept the unique characteristics of handmade items.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, slight pitting, bubbles, or small iron spots may appear. These are natural phenomena resulting from firing at high temperatures.** **4. Due to color differences in consumer electronic screens and natural variations during the firing process, there may be slight color discrepancies between the product images on this website and the actual item received. The color of the delivered item will be considered the primary reference.** **Designed and handcrafted by Taiwanese artisans, or commissioned for mass production.**
