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