Troubleshooting

Uneven color application or slight imperfections

This is an intended characteristic of the handmade design. Each pot features unique imperfections from the hand-painting process, making it one-of-a-kind. Embrace these as part of its artistic charm.

Lid doesn't fit perfectly flush

Due to the handmade nature and free-form sculpting, slight variations in lid fit are normal. Ensure the lid is placed as evenly as possible to create a seal.

Stains appearing on the surface

For stubborn stains, try a paste of baking soda and water. Apply, let sit for a few minutes, then gently wipe clean. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Chip or crack on the stoneware

While durable, stoneware can chip or crack if dropped. Minor chips can sometimes be carefully smoothed. Significant damage may render the piece unsuitable for food use.
