Maintenance Tips:

Apply dishwashing liquid to wash. Do not use abrasive sponges, metal scrubbers, or cleansers to clean as it may damage the surface.

The cups can be stored in refrigerator and freezer. However, please note that a sudden change in the temperature may lead to cracking.

Other Notes:

The cups are compatible with microwave and dish washer/drier.

Do not use over a direct fire.

Please kindly understand and embrace the slight variety in size and surface markings made with pottery wheels, as they are hand made and these are what make them unique.

Matte Glaze
This variant has a less glossy glazing applied on the surface. The level of how matte they appear can vary. You may also notice pinholes (a small dent about 1mm in size) on the surface of the product, but it is a natural occurrence during the production process and is not a defect.

As you use, it may develop a fine hairline crack on the glazing (called craze). If a cup is stained through the craze with tea, etc., try soaking the cup in a food-safe bleach.

If printing inks like from newspaper or other dirts transfers to the cup’s surface, they can be removed by an eraser most of the time. If it does not remove the color, please sand gently with a fine sand paper.

The small amount of oxidised metal contained in the clay sometimes creates dark markings on the surface, but they are not a defect, and is a natural expression of the material that adds character to the cup.

Please note that the outer box may occasionally have slight dents or creases due to handling. However, this does not affect the quality or condition of the product itself.
