Caring for materials
Untreated metal and raw ceramics are sensitive to moisture.
- Dry metal objects promptly after contact with water to prevent rust from forming.
- Use coasters beneath raw ceramics; unglazed bases can scratch delicate surfaces.
- Clean matte glazes with lukewarm water and avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
- Keep woven baskets away from humid environments.
