●Handling Instructions:
[Simple handling instructions for you to use your Hagi ware for many years to come]
Be sure to read this before using.
1. When using for the first time, soak all night in water. This will remove the dust and smell from the packing materials.
2. Hagi ware has no glaze applied to the base and so the sand-containing ceramic here is rough and may damage your table top.
It is recommended that you use a mat underneath or, should the roughness of the base cause you concern when touched, smoothen it with a file or sandpaper.
3. In Hagi ware, the gaps between clay particles are not closed. Due to this, it may leak. This will stop naturally when using thanks to tea stain penetration.
The manufacturer's products have been anti-leak processed. However, in the unfortunate event that leakage continue, let product dry thoroughly and then put in omoyu thin rice gruel or funori glue. Leave for 6 hours and this will stop the leaking.
4. When you put strong food/drinks such as acidic, oily or alcoholic items into this tableware, they will penetrate inside and can cause stains, odors and stickiness. Therefore, do not leave food/drink items such as these inside for a long time.
Please submerge it in water and let it absorb a certain amount of water to prevent it from absorbing moisture and fat of dishes. Please also be careful not to leave it for a long time after eating, and sink it in hot water, etc.
5. Put away tableware after it has completely dried. If moisture is left on it, it may cause mold. Hagi ware is especially absorbent, so be sure that it has dried properly before storing it.
●Other:
*Shikisai Series items are delivered in a wooden box that has a logo mark.
*Due to the characteristics of Hagiyaki, the item color, pattern, shape, etc., may differ slightly.
*All its items from the manufacturer are processed with water-repellent finishing so you can casually use Hagi ware utensils everyday for a long time. The finish delays permeation through glaze cracking, so you can enjoy change of color over a longer period.
*Hagi ware has minute cracks on its glazing. The cracks make the characteristic soft luster and texture of the ware.
As you use it for a long time, tea and alcohol permeates through the cracks and change the color of the ware. This change is highly valued among tea ceremony experts.
However, if you serve strongly colored liquid such as tea and coffee in a new Hagi ware item, the color may permeate from the crack resulting in stain, black spot, etc. Please be fully careful when handling Hagi ware items.
*Should there be no stock, manufacture will take place after order placement. Delivery may be delayed depending on the item. Please contact customer service regarding the delivery date.
