How to care for your ceramics

Caring for your handmade ceramic piece

To ensure the longevity of your handmade ceramic piece, I recommend the following care instructions:

  • Gently clean with warm, soapy water using a soft, non-abrasive sponge to preserve the glaze

  • Allow the piece to dry completely before storing it

  • Handle with care and appreciation. Treat it as you would any delicate, handcrafted item

By following these simple steps, your ceramic piece can remain a part of your home for years to come.

FAQs

Can my ceramic piece go in the dishwasher?

Technically, yes. All my pieces are dishwasher safe.
However, if you want to preserve the glossy, vibrant look of the glaze, I recommend handwashing. Frequent dishwashing will wear down the glaze over time, making it appear more matte.

Can I use my ceramics in the microwave?

Yes, they’re microwave safe. That said, sudden temperature changes can be tough on handmade ceramics.

Can I use them in the oven?

Try to avoid it. My ceramics are perfect for serving food, but not for cooking or baking.

Will the glaze or color change over time?

With regular use and washing, glossy glazes may slowly turn more matte -especially in the dishwasher. This is a normal part of using handmade ceramics, and many people love the patina that forms over time. If you’d prefer to keep that bright glaze look, stick to gentle handwashing.

Can I use metal cutlery in the bowls and plates?

Yes, but some glazes may develop light scratch marks over time. These are purely cosmetic and don’t affect the function or safety of the piece.

Are your ceramics food safe?

Yes, absolutely. All my glazes are food safe and non-toxic. You can eat, drink, and serve with confidence.
