Cherishing Your Handmade Pottery
Handmade ceramics are more than just dishes and décor—they are works of art meant to last a lifetime. With proper care, your favorite pottery pieces from Sunshine Pot-Tree can stay in perfect condition for years to come.
Cleaning Your Ceramics
- Handwashing is best – Although many ceramics are dishwasher-safe, handwashing with warm, soapy water helps maintain their beauty and prevents accidental chipping.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes – Extreme heat or cold can cause thermal shock, leading to cracks or breakage. Never transfer a ceramic piece from the freezer to a hot oven or vice versa.
Using Your Handmade Pottery
- Microwave safety – Most handmade ceramics are microwave-safe, but avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, as it can weaken the glaze over time.
- Oven use – Some ceramics are oven-safe, but they should always be placed in a cold oven and heated gradually to prevent stress fractures.
Storing Your Ceramics
- Stack with care – When stacking bowls or plates, place a soft cloth or felt between pieces to prevent scratching.
- Display safely – If showcasing pottery on shelves, ensure they are stable and not at risk of falling.
What to Do If Your Ceramics Get Stained
- For tea or coffee stains, soak in a baking soda and water solution.
- For grease stains, use a mild vinegar solution or lemon juice to gently clean the surface.
A Lasting Connection
Caring for handmade ceramics is about more than just maintenance—it’s about cherishing the craftsmanship and the story behind each piece. By treating your pottery with love, you ensure it remains a treasured part of your home for years to come.
