- Each piece is handmade, so there may be slight variations in color, shape, and size from the photos. We hope you enjoy these differences as part of the unique character of each item.
- We recommend soaking the piece in warm water before serving hot drink, and in cold water before serving chilled drink.
- When first used, it may appear slightly powdery or white, but with each use and absorption of water, it will gradually develop a rich, smooth black finish.
