- The base must be kept free of glaze, and the product must be positioned flat when placed in the kiln.
- If multiple pieces are fired at the same time, sufficient space must be left between them to prevent damage from glaze runs.

Handcraftsmanship and Product Variations
Due to the ceramic production process, slight variations may occur between products in terms of dimensions, thickness, surface texture, rim, base, and body shape. These variations do not affect use and result from the natural characteristics of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a test before application to check the compatibility of the selected paint and glaze with the ceramic surface, their color and flow behavior on the small surface, and the final firing result.
