///// Precautions for Use /////
Pottery is absorbent. Before first use, run water through it to make it less prone to staining. After use, dry thoroughly before storing. We hope you enjoy the increasing character and earthy flavor that develops with long-term use. Do not use in an oven or on direct heat. Please refrain from using a dishwasher.
///// About Handmade Products /////
These products are handmade one by one by the artist, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, and glaze application. Please consider the size notation as a guide.
