It takes time for every piece to become a finished ceramic object. Pliable clay is thrown on the wheel, thoroughly dried and fired to biscuit temperature, at which point a clay vessel becomes ceramic. Afterwards it is covered with glaze and fired again up to the highest temperature the clay can take. At this stage it matures and vitrifies, forming a strong bond with the glaze.

This is a long and laborious process, every piece holds my time, energy and skill. To prolong the lifespan of your handmade ware I recommend you wash it by hand, store it carefully and avoid placing it in any extreme hot or cold environments.

+ glazes are non-toxic and are suitable for dinnerware

+ vessels can be used in the oven, microwave stove, washed in the dishwasher

+ not for open fire, unless stated otherwise in the description of a certain piece

Clay should not be subjected to sudden and extreme temperature shifts -- transferred from the fridge into boiling hot water ceramic object may experience thermal shock which shortens its lifespan considerably.

Ceramics are easy to use, keep contents warm for a long time, have a long lifespan and are beautiful. I sincerely hope that my ware will bring you lots of happy memories and add beauty to your daily life.
