Handcrafting and Product Variations
Due to the production process based on slip casting and handcrafting, slight variations in size, capacity, thickness, surface texture, form, and handle connections may be observed among products. These differences, which do not affect usage, stem from the natural structure of the product.
TEST RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended to perform a small test before application to observe the compatibility of the paint and glaze with the ceramic surface, its accumulation on the inner surface, its behavior on the rim and handle areas, and the firing result.
