Not suitable for use in ovens, microwaves, dishwashers, or drying machines.** **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 feature hand-applied glazes; the color variations are due to the depth of the glaze. ** **2. As these are handmade items, they cannot be perfectly uniform like mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces may occasionally show traces of glaze drips that have been smoothed and polished. These will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. We kindly request that those who seek absolute perfection and are overly meticulous consider the unique characteristics of handmade items before placing an order.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, localized small pits, bubbles, or small iron spot crystallization are natural phenomena resulting from high-temperature firing.** **4. Due to color variations on consumer 3C screens and natural changes during the firing process, there may be slight color discrepancies between the products listed on this website and the actual items received. The color of the received item will prevail.** **Designed and handcrafted by Taiwanese artisans, or commissioned for mass production.**
