How should I care for my pieces?
Although all the items are designed to be used daily, they are also fragile by nature and require special care.
Here is how to care for your new piece(s) and ensure a long life:
Washing
Hand washing is strongly recommended to ensure longevity of your pieces. You may place small items in the dishwasher with care, ensuring enough space is around them so they don't knock into other items. I also recommend placing them in the sink with care so as to avoid breakage or chipping.
Large pieces should only be hand washed to avoid breakage or chipping in the dishwasher.
Microwaving
Small items such as mugs and bowls are microwave friendly. Please take care and do not over-heat. Also note that, although very unlikely, there is a chance of color change with certain glazes.
What are Seconds?
Given that this craft is a continual process of learning and experimenting, I don't always get a result that meets my intended vision. Instead of discarding those items and producing more waste, Seconds are a way to offer those items to others who are content to purchase them at a discounted rate.
These "quirks" do not tend to impact function, but rather have slight imperfections, variations in form or glazing, or otherwise are "tests" that did not perform to the intended result.
Please refer to the item description for each individual item to learn more about its specifics. If you have any questions or concerns, you can always send me a message for clarification.
Is there anything else I should know?
• Each item is made by one human and remnants of the hand at work, along with both intentional and unintentional “imperfections,” will exist. Each piece is unique, meaning that even sets or pairs may bear slight differences in applications of glaze and subtle variations in size or form.
• All food and beverage items are food safe. Most items are dishwasher and microwave friendly. Please review the "How should I care for my pieces?" section for specific details and recommendations.
• Function is tested and, unless otherwise noted, this piece will function completely as it is advertised. For "Seconds", please refer to the individual item descriptions.
• Please remember to be kind when purchasing handmade. These items are made by hand from start to finish, meaning they are inherently perfectly imperfect.
