Before the first use, we recommend washing all pieces by hand in hot soapy water. Thoroughly rinse them and allow them to air dry for optimal cleanliness.
To preserve the beautiful color and glaze of the pieces, we advise against using a dishwasher. Handwashing will help maintain their integrity and longevity.
For certain items like jugs, mugs, and vases, you may notice some initial sweating at the base. Don't worry; this is normal and will gradually decrease over time. To protect delicate surfaces from watermarks, we suggest using a coaster or mat underneath.
If you plan to use a vase or jug for holding flowers, remember to change the water daily. This simple step will keep your arrangements looking fresh and your pieces in top condition.
Please be aware that some marks in the glaze and a slight craze pattern may naturally occur. These are part of the authentic charm of our products and won't compromise their functionality or durability in any way.
By following these care instructions, you'll ensure that your beloved pieces stay as beautiful as the day you got them.
