/////Care Instructions/////
Ceramic has water absorbency. Soaking it in water before first use can make it less prone to staining. After use, please dry it thoroughly before storing. We hope you enjoy the increasing charm and earthy flavor that develops with long-term use. Cannot be used in ovens or directly over a flame. Please refrain from using a dishwasher.
///// About Handmade Products /////
Each piece is handmade by the artist, so there may be individual differences in color, shape, and the application of glaze. Please consider the stated size as an approximate guide.
