⚠️ Handling Notice

Careful Packaging: Purple clay is fragile. Please inspect upon delivery. If damaged, photograph and contact us the same day for free replacement.

🍵 Care Instructions

• Rinse with hot water before first use (no soap)
• After each use, rinse thoroughly and air dry with lid off
• Never use detergent - it will damage the clay's natural seasoning
• Wipe gently with a soft tea cloth to enhance the patina
• Over time, the pot will develop a beautiful lustrous finish
• Handle with care - purple clay is precious but fragile
• The side-handle design is sturdy but still requires gentle handling
