✦ IMPORTANT NOTES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
• As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations in size, weight, colour, and glaze pattern are inherent and are a hallmark of artisan-made ceramics.
• Minor characteristics such as tiny pinholes or glaze pooling ("yudamari") are natural features of porcelain, not defects. Every item has passed rigorous quality inspection.
• Colours may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and lighting conditions.
• All glazes and materials used are free from substances harmful to the human body. Please use with confidence.
• We recommend hand-washing with a soft sponge. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a hot bowl directly into cold water) to preserve the integrity of the glaze.
• Please store in a dry location. When stacking, place a soft cloth between bowls to avoid scratching.

Thank you for considering this piece of Japanese craftsmanship. We sincerely hope it brings a moment of tranquillity and beauty to your daily life. 🍵
