 FAQs

  • Very! Handmade tableware crafted by artisans embodies not only unique artistry but also superior durability. Each piece is meticulously formed and fired, often using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Artisans typically select high-quality materials that can withstand daily use and the test of time. In contrast, factory-made tableware is produced en masse with speed and cost-efficiency in mind, which can lead to compromises in the choice of materials and the firing process. The artisan's personal touch and attention to detail ensure that each handmade item is not just a vessel but a lasting work of art.
