Product Care
- Wipe gently with a damp cloth and allow to dry thoroughly
- Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture
- Avoid extreme heat (do not leave in hot cars)
Handcrafted Variation Note
Each piece is handcrafted individually, meaning slight variations in tone, texture and measurement (up to 20%) are a natural part of the process — and what makes your piece entirely your own. This is not considered a fault.
