No, this set is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the unique ash glaze and high-fired stoneware construction, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve the finish.
The high-fired stoneware is designed to be neutral, ensuring it accurately transposes your tea's true flavor profile without imparting any metallic or unwanted tastes.
The variegated ash glaze creates a melted glass effect that reacts differently during the 1250°C firing process. Because of this complex technique, each set features unique patterns, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
