Handmade Ceramics

Q

Are your tea ware pieces handmade?

Many of our tea ware pieces are crafted and finished with traditional handmade techniques.

Because of this process, each piece may have its own subtle character, making your tea ware feel more individual and unique.

Q

Why does my ceramic piece look slightly different from the photos?

Handmade ceramics naturally vary from piece to piece. Differences in glaze color, texture, shape, speckles, and surface character may occur during the handcrafting and firing process.

Made by Hand, Not by Machine

These subtle variations are part of the character of handmade ceramics and help make every piece unique.

Q

Are small imperfections normal?

Minor variations such as small glaze differences, natural speckles, subtle texture changes, or slight shape variations can occur in handmade ceramics.

These characteristics are generally considered part of the handmade process rather than manufacturing defects.

04

Ceramic Care

Q

How should I care for my ceramic tea ware?

We recommend rinsing your tea ware with warm water after use and gently drying it with a soft cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough scrubbing materials, or sudden temperature changes that may place unnecessary stress on the ceramic.

Q

Can I pour boiling water into my ceramic tea ware?

Our tea ware is designed for everyday tea rituals, but we recommend avoiding sudden extreme temperature changes.

For example, avoid pouring very hot water into a ceramic piece that has been exposed to extremely cold temperatures.

Q

How should I clean my tea cups and teaware?

Gentle hand washing with mild dish soap and a soft sponge is generally recommended for handmade ceramic tea ware.

Rinse thoroughly and allow the piece to dry completely before storing.

05

Dishwasher & Microwave

Q

Is my tea ware dishwasher safe?

Care instructions may vary depending on the individual ceramic piece. Please check the specific product description before placing your tea ware in a dishwasher.

When in doubt, gentle hand washing is the safest option for handmade ceramic pieces.
Q

Is my tea ware microwave safe?

Microwave suitability may vary by product. Please refer to the individual product page for specific usage instructions.

If the product does not specifically state that it is microwave safe, we recommend avoiding microwave use.
