Note:
–About the parcel:
If You Receive The Package Broken, Please Don’t Open Dispute and Leave Negative Feedback, Please Contact Us Firstly, We Will Deal With It, Don’t Worry !
–About the product:
The product may have certain differences from the photos due to ambient light, camera parameters, screen color, etc. Please refer to the physical object you receive.
The product size and capacity are manually measured, and there may be certain errors. It is for reference only. Since the batches of fired are different and accompanied by thermal expansion and contraction, please refer to the physical object received.
–About ceramics:
The porcelain you bought has black spots/pinholes because the raw materials contain iron and other minerals naturally formed after high temperature firing. The qualified products selected after quality inspection will not affect the use. However, if you remove the black spot pinholes, you must use chemical raw materials to remove them, which will greatly harm the good porcelain itself.
–About texture:
The textures formed by high-temperature daily tea utensils are naturally randomly formed in a kiln that passes through more than 1,000 degrees, and cannot be controlled or avoided. Although the nodes or textures naturally formed by bamboo and wood products during the growth of trees are avoided as much as possible during the processing process, they cannot be manually screened and removed. This situation is not a product defect.
The package contains: 1 x Teaware
