Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers.** **2. Do not use steel wool for cleaning to avoid scratching 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 perfectly uniform in size like mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally have marks from glaze drips that have been polished. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. If you are a perfectionist or overly meticulous, please consider the unique characteristics of handmade items before ordering.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, minor imperfections such as small pores, bubbles, or small iron spots may appear. These are natural phenomena resulting from high-temperature firing.** **4.
