Thank you for choosing handcrafted pottery from our collection. Each piece is made with care and deserves a little attention to keep it looking its best. Here’s everything you need to know to care for your pottery:

General Care Tips

  • Handle with Care: Our pottery is durable, but like all ceramics, it can chip or break if dropped or knocked.

  • Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes: Do not move pottery directly from a hot oven to a cold surface or vice versa. Sudden temperature shifts may cause cracking.

Cleaning Instructions

  • Hand Wash Recommended: Although many of our pieces are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing to extend their lifespan.

  • Use Mild Detergents: Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers. A soft sponge and gentle soap are ideal.

  • Stain Removal: For tough stains, soak the item in a mix of baking soda and warm water before gently scrubbing.

Microwave & Oven Use

  • Microwave Safe (unless otherwise stated): Most of our pottery is microwave safe, but avoid prolonged heating.

  • Oven Use: Only oven-safe labeled items should be used in the oven, and they must be placed in a cold oven and heated gradually.

Storage Tips

  • Stack with Caution: When stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between pieces to prevent scratches or chipping.

  • Dry Thoroughly: Ensure pottery is fully dry before storing, especially if stacking or placing in closed cabinets.

Special Care for Glazed Pieces

  • Crazing is Natural: Hairline cracks in the glaze, known as “crazing,” may appear over time and are not defects—they add to the character of handmade pottery.

  • Avoid Prolonged Soaking: Prolonged contact with water may weaken the glaze or absorb moisture. Always dry thoroughly after washing.

Sustainable & Timeless

Our pottery is built to last a lifetime with proper care. By treating your pieces with love and attention, you’re supporting traditional craftsmanship and reducing waste.
