Product care

At IKKAI Ceramics, we take pride in creating exquisite handmade ceramic kitchenware that adds a touch of sophistication to your daily routine. Our products are not only visually stunning but also designed to be functional and durable. To ensure the longevity of your ceramics, it is important to handle them with care and follow our usage guidelines.

Handle with Care

Like all pottery, our items are fragile and can break easily. Please handle them with care to avoid any accidental damage. While our ceramics are made to be sturdy, they are not indestructible.

Lead-Free and Food-Safe

The glazes used in our ceramics are lead-free and food-safe. You can use our products with confidence, knowing that they meet the highest safety standards.

Recommended Washing Methods

While our handmade dinnerware is dishwasher and microwave safe, we recommend hand washing for optimal care. The internal temperature of microwaves and ovens can vary, which may cause damage to the ceramics over time. To hand wash, use a soft scrub brush and dish soap, avoiding metal or abrasive sponges. For dishwasher use, we recommend using eco-friendly detergents to help preserve the longevity of the ceramics.

Unglazed Exterior

Some of our ceramics have an unglazed exterior, which may show oil markings over time. Please note that this is a natural characteristic of the product and does not affect its safety or functionality.

Unique Handmade Creations

All our pottery products are handmade, wheel-thrown, and unique. Each item may have slight variations in color, shape, and size, adding to their individual charm. Embrace the beauty of imperfection and enjoy the uniqueness of your one-of-a-kind piece.
