Handcrafted Notched Small Bowl Incense Holder - Chocolate Black - Gift

**【Product Details】** | Material | Imported American sculpting clay | Use | Incense holder / Tabletop decoration | Dimensions | Diameter 10 × Height 7 cm (±2 cm) | Production Origin | Taiwan ※ Regarding Use: The opening of this incense holder is designed with a slight curve. The angle at which the incense stick sits may vary slightly depending on its thickness. We suggest you adjust it slightly when in use to find the most suitable tilt. The deep design should catch most of the ash. ※ Cleaning Suggestions: If ash adheres to the holder, gently brush it off with a dry cloth or rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely. As it is unglazed and porous, please avoid contact with colored liquids to prevent staining. ※ Handmade Characteristics: Each incense holder is individually wheel-thrown by hand. Therefore, there will be unique, subtle variations in size, the curvature of pleats, and clay color distribution. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is handmade. Due to clay shrinkage and glaze flow during firing, the actual product may not be exactly identical to the photos. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please confirm your acceptance before placing an order: - **Form Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, there may be an error of approximately **±1-1.5cm** in the dimensions of the actual product compared to the photos, and slight differences in the outer curves. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes naturally flow during the firing process, which can result in variations in luster, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Marks**: The surface may occasionally have black spots (mineral impurities in the clay), crazing (fine crackle lines), granular texture, or traces of coloring. - **Screen Color Differences**: Product photos are affected by lighting conditions and individual screen color settings. Please refer to the **actual shipped product** for color and style. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To prolong the lifespan and maintain the quality of your ceramic products, we recommend the following: - **First Use**: It is advisable to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: **Microwave safe**, but avoid dry heating or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher safe**, but not recommended. If using a dishwasher, ensure items are placed securely to avoid collisions. Hand washing with a mild detergent and air drying is generally recommended. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not heat directly over an open flame. - **Temperature Shock**: Avoid **sudden extreme temperature changes** (both hot and cold) to prevent the pottery from cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Patina**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and staining. These are natural signs of use and aging for ceramic pieces and do not affect their functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In line with our commitment to environmental protection and ensuring safe delivery, our daily shipments are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
