Note
Regarding Color Differences Between Product Images and Actual Products .
The color of the products may slightly vary due to differences in monitor or device settings and lighting conditions.

In particular, the subtle color variations in ceramics caused by glazes or kiln transformations can be challenging to capture fully in photographs. As a result, there may be slight differences in color between the actual product and the image shown.

We appreciate your understanding in advance.

Before use:

Soak in water or lukewarm water: Ceramics can absorb juices and oils from food, causing stains. Briefly soaking the piece in water or lukewarm water before use can help prevent staining.
Avoid long-term use with oily or juicy dishes:

Prolonged exposure to juices or oils can lead to stains. Avoid leaving oily or juicy food in the ceramic for extended periods.
About crazing:

Crazing refers to the network of fine cracks that can appear in the glaze due to differences in shrinkage between the clay body and the glaze during firing. It is a design technique and not a defect. More crazing may develop with use, adding to the design. To minimize the appearance of crazing, soak the piece in water or warm water before use and wash it promptly after use, ensuring it is well-dried.
If water seeps through:

If water seepage occurs, repeat the process of boiling the piece in thick rice water several times and then drying it thoroughly.
