UK CUSTOMERS

Starting January 1, 2021, as part of Brexit, a new set of VAT rules will apply in the UK.
All goods imported from Israel to the UK will be subject to VAT.
As per my understanding, the onus is on the importer to pay the VAT.

Are your products human, dishwasher & microwave safe?

All of my products are made with a lead-free non-toxic glaze and are perfectly happy to be eaten off of, drunken out of and enjoyed thoroughly. Everything is dishwasher, oven and microwave safe.

Please don't microwave an empty ceramic vessel. If there is no food or liquid in the bowl to absorb the microwave energy, the ceramic material itself can become excessively heated and potentially crack or shatter.

How close will the item I receive be to the photo shown in the listing?

Every item in my shop is handmade, so sometimes there are slight variations in color and size. Isn’t that the charm of old-school craftsmanship though?

Also, keep in mind that every computer monitor/phone screen displays colors a little differently.

Custom and personalized orders

I’d love to hear all about your custom order requests and I’m sure I will be able to craft something we will both enjoy. Drop me a convo and we can get started.

Do you offer gift wrapping or packaging?

Yes! I package all of my orders with an abundance of clean, and new, packing materials. I aim to use as much recycled material as possible.

For gift wrapping, drop me a note at checkout (or convo me) and I am happy to wrap your piece up for you all pretty.

When will my order ship?

Since my shop is a one-woman show, every piece is made to order - meaning, I start working on your piece(s) only after your order has been placed. This allows me to maintain the high craftsmanship in my pottery, and to create pieces that are 100% uniquely made for you.

It generally takes me 4-6 weeks to make most pieces.
Dinnerware and larger orders may take up to 8-12 weeks to make.

Delays may occur that are beyond my control, but I will be sure to keep you posted should there be any unexpected changes. 

*Please note these times refer to production time, and NOT to shipping time.
