How to Care for Mino Ware

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your handcrafted cup:

• • Handwash recommended: Use a soft sponge and mild detergent to protect the glaze.
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes: Extreme hot-to-cold transitions may cause cracks.
  • Microwave & dishwasher use: Not recommended to maintain the integrity of the textured surface and glaze.
  • Do not place on direct flame or stovetop.
  • Dry completely before storing to prevent moisture absorption typical of artisanal ceramics.
