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.
