④ IMPORTANT NOTES

────────────────────

• As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations in size, shape, colour, and glaze pattern are natural and are a hallmark of authentic handmade ceramics.

• The kiln-transformation effect means no two bowls are exactly alike — the piece you receive is uniquely yours.

• Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., do not pour boiling water into a cold bowl) to prevent cracking.

• Hand washing is recommended. Please avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.

• Not suitable for microwave or dishwasher use.

• Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Ensure the bowl is fully dry before storage to prevent mould.

• Handle with care — ceramic is fragile. Thank you for choosing this authentic piece of Kyoto's celebrated ceramic heritage. We sincerely hope it brings warmth and beauty to your tea moments.
