Not suitable for ovens, microwaves, or dishwashers/dryers.** **2. Do not use abrasive scrubbers (e.g., steel wool) as they may scratch the ceramic glaze. Please use soft cloths or sponges.** **1. Some products feature hand-applied glazes; the color may vary due to the depth of the glaze.** **2. Some items are handmade and may not have the uniform size of mass-produced items. Wood-fired pieces might occasionally show signs of glaze drips or minor marks from polishing; these will be clearly indicated in the product photos and descriptions. Those seeking absolute perfection should reconsider. We kindly ask that you appreciate and accept the characteristics of handmade items before placing an order.** **3. Due to the mineral content in ceramics, small pores, air bubbles, or tiny iron spots may naturally appear after high-temperature firing. This is a normal phenomenon.** **4. Due to color variations in consumer electronic screens and the natural changes during the firing process, there may be slight color differences between the product images on this website and the actual item received. The color of the delivered item will prevail.** **Designed and handcrafted by Taiwanese artisans or commissioned for mass production**
