The following phenomena may occur even in products that are shipped as good products after inspection.
Please be aware that these phenomena are unavoidable due to the manufacturing process and that they are characteristics of the product.

Bleeding or blurring of logo

The ORIGAMI logo is painted by a technique called underglaze painting, which means that it is printed under the glaze.
Therefore, some of them may fuse with the glaze, causing blurring or bleeding.
Also, since the logo is coated on top, it will not fade or come off during use.

Iron dust

Even white objects contain iron in the clay from which the vessels are made, which appears as black spots on the surface when the vessels are fired.

Pinholes

Glazed vessels may have small indentations that look like pins.
This is a phenomenon peculiar to ceramics in which organic matter attached to the fabric during glazing is baked and forms small dents, and is not a defect.

Individual differences in glaze (color and texture)

Porcelain has a variety of expressions depending on natural conditions such as seasons and temperatures, as well as the glaze and the heat used during firing.
For this reason, even vessels made of the same material will vary in color and texture after firing.
The two items below are the same color, but the color intensity may vary depending on the time of production.

(Left) Dark (Right) Light

Uneven color, texture

The thickness of the glaze may vary depending on the shape and thickness of the vessel, and the exposure to fire may cause the color and texture to be uneven in some areas within a single vessel.

Example of uneven color

Example of fine surface irregularities

Example of numerous small holes in surface

Weight & Size

Due to manufacturing lots and glazes, there are individual differences in weight and size even for the same product.
Therefore, the size and weight may differ slightly from the size and weight listed on the product page.
Please understand.
