Small φ14 x h4.5cm 

Large φ22.5 x h5cm 

Do not use in oven. Microwave and dishwasher safe. There will be inevitable color differences, unevenness, and misalignment on the glaze

Microwave use

Microwaves heat food by acting on its water content. The food may become very hot while parts of the vessel remain relatively cool, creating temperature differences that can cause cracking

• Before microwave use, wipe off all surface moisture
• Do not heat an empty vessel
• Avoid heating very small amounts of food for long periods
• Do not place a hot vessel directly into cold water or onto a cold surface
• Stir food where possible so that it heats evenly

Medome

This treatment is recommended for porous ceramics. It fills fine pores and helps reduce staining, odours and seepage.

1. Place the vessel in a pot lined with a clean cloth.
2. Add enough rice-washing water to cover it completely.
   Alternatively, use water containing flour or potato starch.
3. Bring it slowly to a gentle boil and simmer for about 20 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and allow everything to cool naturally.
5. Remove the vessel, rinse it thoroughly and dry it completely.
6. Repeat the process if seepage continues.

For very large vessels that cannot fit in a pot, fill them with rice-washing water or starch water, leave them for several hours, then wash and dry thoroughly.
