**Care Instructions:**
• Rinse with hot water only - never use soap or detergent
• Air dry completely after each use with lid off

• The high-fired Duan Ni clay is more durable and resistant to staining
• The clay will develop a subtle, warm patina over time - this is desirable
• Store in a well-ventilated area when not in use
