How do I care for Tuhú item?
Our ceramics are handcrafted in a durable, high-quality stone clay body and glazed with certified food safe. Every piece is microwave, and dishwasher safe; however, hand-washing will always prolong the life cycle of your pottery. Dirt and stains on unglazed surfaces can be removed with a scrub brush and a bit of baking soda. Do not expose the wares to sudden, dramatic shifts in temperature (e.g. place into a hot oven from the freezer) or place over an open flame.
What is a “Second” product?
Seconds are pieces that don’t meet aesthetic quality standards regular Tuhú sale. The imperfections in the finish do not affect the integrity of the piece.
- Many makers throw these pieces out, but with sustainable practices being the core of our business. We prefer to offer them at reduced rates to reflect their visual impurities.
- Giving room for imperfections allows for more accessibility for my customers and a less-wasteful practice.
- Examples of seconds:
-
-
A cup with some pin holing in glaze. These tiny holes are not sharp and do not cause any issues when using the product.
-
A dish with a small “S” fracture in the base or a teapot with a surface fracture by the spout. This fracture does not go entirely through or interfere with the integrity of the pieces’ function.
