Care instructions

  • Durability: Our ceramics are made with high-quality stoneware, but they are more fragile than mass-produced pieces. Handle them with care.

  • Glazes: Matte glazes can stain over time. Wash them by hand if possible and avoid using them with strongly colored foods/liquids. Rinse them quickly after use and don't leave liquid on them for long periods.

  • Dishwasher & Microwave: While technically dishwasher and microwave safe, these methods can shorten their lifespan. We recommend handwashing and avoiding microwave. 

  • Variations: Each piece is handmade, so slight variations in size, shape, and glaze color are expected.
