Troubleshooting
Uneven glaze or color variations
This is an intentional characteristic of the hand-painted design and is not a defect. Each plate's unique appearance is a hallmark of its artisanal origin.
Plate chipping or cracking
While made of stoneware, sudden temperature changes or strong impacts can cause damage. Avoid extreme thermal shock (e.g., placing a hot plate directly onto a cold surface) and handle with care when washing or stacking.
Food staining
For stubborn stains, try making a paste of baking soda and water, applying it to the stain, letting it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrubbing with a soft cloth or sponge.
