Know before you buy
No. Because each piece is a genuine vintage find, you should expect natural variations in size, color, and surface wear. These unique imperfections are part of the item's history and character.
No, this pot is not dishwasher safe. Due to its vintage nature and porous ceramic material, we recommend hand washing it gently with a soft cloth to preserve its finish.
While it is designed for general culinary use, the interior texture is rough and aged. We recommend using it for dry goods or as a decorative serving piece rather than for liquids or raw ingredients.
The lid is included and matches the material of the pot, but because these are handcrafted vintage items, the fit may not be airtight. It is intended primarily for decorative display or light storage.
Both the interior and exterior surfaces have a rough, tactile finish consistent with traditional Chinese countryside pottery. This adds to the authentic, rustic aesthetic of the piece.
