Care Information

Caring for new ceramics:
When you buy a new ceramic piece it is a good idea to place it in a bowl of water for around 2 to 3 hours. Pottery has air between the clay particles, which in time can let
in dirt and cause staining. By soaking the piece in water these gaps can be sealed, preventing the dirt from encroaching.
