• To keep your pieces looking their best:

    • Hand wash when possible to preserve the glaze and surface finish

    • Avoid soaking for long periods

    • Rinse soon after use, especially with strongly coloured foods

    • Allow pieces to dry fully before storing

    These small habits help maintain the glaze, prevent staining, and extend the life of handmade ceramics.

  • All pieces are made from high‑fired stoneware, which is known for its strength and everyday usability. With proper care, stoneware lasts for years — even with regular use. Each piece is crafted with thin, refined walls for a light, elegant feel, but they remain strong and suitable for daily rituals.

  • Yes, technically all pieces are dishwasher safe. However, I recommend hand washing to prolong the life of the glaze and keep the surface looking its best. Dishwashers can be harsher on handmade work over time, especially on matte finishes.

  • Yes, they are microwave safe. For longevity, avoid sudden temperature shocks (for example, moving a piece straight from the fridge into the microwave).

  • Matte glazes can show light staining over time, this is normal for handmade ceramics. Foods like curries, tomato sauces, or oils may leave marks if left to sit. To minimise staining:

    • Rinse soon after use

    • Avoid leaving strongly coloured foods in the piece for long periods

    • For occasional deeper cleaning, soak in warm water with a little bicarbonate of soda

    Many customers love the gentle patina that develops over years of use - it’s part of the character of matte, artisanal glazes.

  • Every piece is handmade in small batches, so subtle variations in form, glaze tone, and surface texture are expected. These differences are part of the charm and individuality of handmade ceramics.

  • Absolutely. Stoneware is designed to handle hot drinks, soups, and everyday meals. Just avoid extreme temperature changes (e.g., freezer to oven).

  • Yes, all glazes used on functional pieces are food‑safe, non‑toxic, and suitable for everyday use.

  • Light cutlery marks or surface scuffs can happen with use. A gentle scrub with a soft sponge and a little bicarbonate of soda usually removes them. Matte glazes may show these marks more easily, this is normal and part of their character.
