Do your products contain lead?
Our products and most glazed pottery contain some lead, but not a lot, and it is confined behind the glaze. Also, all our products meet Japan's Food Sanitation Standards Act.
This is true for the vast majority of fired glazes, and even a lot of glassware. It is not dangerous and you would not be wary of this product.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us anytime.

I found something that looks like a crack in the product. Is it defective?
Please be assured that minor cracks, as shown in the images below, are not defective. What you see on the surface of the plate is "penetration."
This is different from cracks or flaws that occur when a piece is broken. The bottom of the pottery is not cracked, will not leak liquids, and can be used normally.
Even if the pottery is made of the same clay, the same glaze, and fired in the same kiln at the same time, it may or may not have penetrations due to differences in the firing temperature at the firing position in the kiln. We hope that you will enjoy our plates, considering the penetration as a unique feature of pottery.
