Specifications ■Production Area: Tunisia ■Material/Component: Ceramic (clay) Notes Due to the handmade nature of the product, there may be slight variations in size and pattern. Regarding the Handling of Pottery ・Gently wash with lukewarm water and dish soap. ・Do not use dishwashers, microwave ovens, or ovens. ・It is vulnerable to extreme temperature differences, so do not pour hot water directly into it. Crazing may occur. ・After use, wash immediately without leaving it. ・It is recommended not to bleach as much as possible. Before Using Pottery ・Pottery and some glazes originally have small bumps and fine crazing, which is not damage or breakage of the pottery itself. ・You can prevent this to some extent by "sealing" the pottery before using it. ・To "seal," put rice washing water (or flour) and the pottery in a pot, and simmer over low to medium heat for 20 minutes, avoiding boiling. After soaking and cooling for half a day, wipe well and dry. ※Image reproduction prohibited Color: Blue Type: Bowl Material: Lacquerware Item Type: Small Bowl
