Each piece is handmade, making it unique. To help it last for years, handle it with care. Dishwasher safe on a gentle cycle, though hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish. Microwave safe unless otherwise stated, but avoid sudden temperature changes, such as transferring directly from the refrigerator to a hot oven or microwave. Treat your pottery as you would any cherished handmade object, and it will age beautifully with everyday use.
