Hand-washing: Handmade ceramics are often more delicate than mass-produced ceramics, so it's best to hand-wash them rather than using a dishwasher. Use a mild dish soap and warm water to gently clean the ceramics. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning chemicals, as they may damage the surface or decorations.
Avoid sudden temperature changes: Sudden temperature changes can cause ceramic pieces to crack or break. For example, avoid placing hot ceramics directly into cold water or vice versa. Allow ceramics to cool gradually before washing them if they've been used for hot foods or beverages. Store them in a stable environment away from heat sources and fluctuations in temperature.
Avoid microwave and oven: Unless explicitly stated, we don’t recommend using handmade ceramics in the microwave or oven.
Staining and discoloration: Some handmade ceramics may be more prone to staining or discoloration, especially if they have porous surfaces or unglazed areas. Be mindful when using pigmented foods and beverages, as they may leave stains. Promptly clean any spills or stains to prevent them from becoming permanent.
Storage: When not in use, store handmade ceramics securely and stably space to prevent them from being damaged.
