Custom Orders
Do you offer custom pieces?
Yes! Custom orders are one of my favorite things to create—especially for gifts, weddings, and special occasions.

How long do custom orders take?
Custom pieces typically take 3–6 weeks, depending on the design and current workload.
Please plan ahead if ordering for a specific date or event.
Product Care
Are your pieces food safe?
Yes—all pieces are made with food-safe materials and glazes.
Are they dishwasher and microwave safe?
Yes! That said, hand washing is recommended to extend the life of your piece.
How durable are they?
Each piece is made from high-quality stoneware and fired for durability.
That said, ceramics can break if dropped or handled roughly—so treat them with care.
Handmade Process
Why do pieces vary slightly?
Every piece is made by hand or hand thrown on the wheel, which means slight variations in shape, size, and design are part of what makes each one unique.
No two pieces will ever be exactly the same—and that’s the beauty of handmade.

Do you restock items?
Some designs return, but many pieces are released in small batches and may not be restocked exactly as they were.
