Care and Maintenance
To maintain the vibrant colours and glossy finish of your ceramic teapot, follow these care instructions:
- Hand Wash Recommended: Gently wash with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to prevent scratching.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can dull the glaze or scratch the surface.
- Handle with Care: Ceramic is fragile. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring boiling water into a very cold pot) and impacts to prevent cracks or chips.
- Storage: Store in a secure place where it won't be easily knocked over or come into contact with other hard objects.
- Info needed: Is it dishwasher safe? Unless specified, hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish.
