This Bowl Or Plate Is Fired Stoneware. It Is Glazed On One Side And Left Unglazed On The Under Side, This Means It Needs A Few Extra Steps Taken To Make Sure It Remains As Beautiful As It Is Now.

How To Wash Your Bowl Or Plate:

The Unglazed Side Is Porous, Therefore It Is Best To Avoid The Use Of Soap On This Side, You Can Use Soap To Clean The Glazed Side And Warm Water To Clean The Unglazed Side. Alternatively You Can Clean With A Bit Of Bicarb Of Soda And Water.

Because Of The Porous Underside, The First Few Times You Wash Your Bowl You May Get A Some Dark Spots On The Glaze, This Is Just Moisture And Will Fade In A Few Minutes. Make Sure You Dry The Bowl Or Plate Well After Washing. Do Not Put It In The Dishwasher.

Pre-Care Of Your Bowl Or Plate:

As An Optional Extra Precaution You Can Coat The Unglazed Side Of Your Bowl Or Plate With Food Grade Tung Oil, This Will Stop The Stoneware Being Porous And Mean That You Can Use Dish Soap To Clean The Underside Too, It Will Slightly Darken The Unglazed Area.

Use Of Your Bowl Or Plate

Your Handmade Ceramics Are Great For Serving Various Different Foods And Snacks In, It Will Also Make A Great Fruit Bowl Or Decorative Centrepiece.

Avoid Putting It In The Oven Or On The Hob. Putting Hot Food Into Is Fine, As Long As It’S Not Boiling Liquid Or Something Sizzling.
