A note about handmade
Every Goldie piece is thrown on the wheel or handbuilt, cleaned, painted, glazed and handled by one person. You are purchasing a one-of-a-kind handmade object by a human, so variations, minor imperfections, and signs of being handmade are to be expected. I hope you appreciate the uniqueness of each item as much as I do!
Dishwasher? Microwave? What's the deal?
Work is dishwasher and microwave safe but hand washing and not microwaving is highly recommended. Items with gold luster on them cannot go in the microwave or dishwasher.
It's recommended to rinse your mug or cup with warm water before pouring in extremely hot liquids.
The glaze has some cracks in it, is it food safe?
As is the nature with handmade pottery, sometimes cracks (or crazing) happens. Your piece is highly vitrified and there's nothing toxic or dangerous that can leach out from the glaze or piece. The cracks may stain over time with coffee or tea, but I find that putting it through the dishwasher helps. Please try to remember that these aren't mass-produced factory ceramics but rather made by a human doing their best. For more information please get in touch.
