* As each piece is individually handcrafted, slight variations in size, shape, and color are to be expected.
The actual piece may differ from the photographs.

*The lid is adorned with silver decoration.
As a unique characteristic of silver, its color gradually changes over time. We hope you will enjoy this evolving beauty as part of the charm and character of the piece.

* **Care Instructions**

* With regular use, stains or marks may develop over time. If needed, they can be removed using a household kitchen bleach.
As this piece is made of porcelain, it is non-porous and will not absorb liquids or become permanently discolored.

* This piece is finished with a matte glaze.
Please avoid rubbing the surface firmly with metal cutlery, as this may leave dark metal marks. If you find the texture or sound of metal cutlery on a matte glaze uncomfortable, we recommend using wooden or other non-metal utensils.

* No special preparation, such as boiling the piece in rice-rinsing water, is required before first use.

* This piece is microwave safe. Do not use it over an open flame or in an oven.

* To help preserve the piece, we recommend hand washing rather than using a dishwasher.

* As many of our pieces are finely made with thin walls, sudden temperature changes may cause fine cracks or damage.
If the piece is cold, we recommend warming it gently with a small amount of warm water before adding very hot food or beverages.
