Washing by hand is always recommended.

 

Pieces with lusters such as gold or mother of pearl are not microwave safe and should not be washed in a dishwasher. 

 

Unless otherwise noted on the product page or tag, most of our pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe.

The manufacturers of the clays we use indicate that they're oven safe, however there are use caveats that alter this claim. It's best to include your pottery in your oven's pre-heat cycle and under no circumstances should pottery move between the refrigerator or freezer and a hot oven. It's because of this special care that we do not claim that our work is oven safe.
