~Care and Use~
Most pieces are microwave safe, and I will note whether it is or isn’t in each product’s description.
I only use food-safe glazes on objects that are likely to encounter food, but some pieces may have gold luster on them (which is not microwave safe)!
I cannot guarantee that my ceramics are dishwasher safe, since I don’t have a dishwasher and have not tried it for myself. Hand washing is recommended by many ceramic artists.
I try to make each piece as sturdy as possible, but accidents do happen when using ceramics daily in the home. To ensure a long life for your pieces, try to avoid exposing your pieces to temperature shock. For example: pouring boiling water into a mug that has been sitting in a cold room, or taking a dish from the refrigerator and putting it into a hot oven. Gradual warming of the pieces before each use will protect them from shock.
~Order Fulfillment~
Each product is categorized as either ‘Ready to ship’ or ‘Made to order’.
’Ready to ship’ items are typically packed & shipped within 2-5 days.
’Made to order’ items take between 3-8 weeks to produce, depending on the complexity of the item and current projects already in motion. Each ‘Made to order’ item listing gives a more specific timeframe of when you can expect that particular piece to be shipped.
Rush production may be available for ‘Made to order’ items, at an additional cost. If you have a rush order, please email me as soon as possible, and I will let you know whether I am able to rush your order or not. Rush orders can be produced in as little as 2-3 weeks, and is an additional $30 for each piece rush ordered.
~Shipping~
Shipping ceramics is scary! For just this very reason I offer free local pickup for customers in the Philly area. To activate free pickup, enter code PHILLYPICKUP at checkout. I will email you with the pickup details once I receive your order!
By default I ship with USPS, but am open to shipping with other carriers if requested.
I can only offer shipping within the US at this time, but I am looking forward to figuring out how to make international shipping work ~soon~.
Whenever possible, I will reuse boxes and packaging materials to pack up your order. It will look nice, if not a bit crinkled! If your order contains a gift, please let me know in a note or an email and I will pack it up extra cute!
As stated above, shipping ceramics is a bit terrifying. As a result, I thoughtfully and meticulously pack each item with care, in hopes of giving it the best chance possible for a safe arrival. *IF* your item arrives damaged, please photograph the box it was shipped in, and the damaged item, so I can file a damage claim. Please note that many items are one of a kind and often cannot be remade.
~Etc.~
All items are handmade, slight variation is to be expected.
