Ceramics
Avoid sudden temperature change and impact at the rim. Hand washing is gentlest even where dishwasher use is listed.
Care by material.
Start with the specific instructions listed with each piece. These general notes show how clear care guidance can extend everyday use.
Textiles
Wash cool with mild detergent, reshape while damp and accept the relaxed creasing that belongs to linen and wool.
Wood
Never soak or machine wash. Dry promptly and renew food-safe oil when the surface appears pale or dry.
Variation is not damage
Tool marks, glaze movement, grain and small shifts in woven pattern are expected parts of small-batch objects. Damage and return eligibility are assessed separately.
