When can I see the products available for purchasing?

Can I reserve / pre-order a piece?
For most of my pieces it’s first come first serve. Sometimes I will have pieces that can be pre-ordered, those will be announced on my social media pages and through the newsletter.
How often do you launch a collection?
How often do you launch a collection?
As I’m still in the early days of my ceramics business, you can expect smaller but more frequent drops. Eventually I want to work my way towards larger, less frequent collections. But for now, keep an eye on my socials or sign up for my newsletter. This way you will always be the first to know when new products are listed to the website!
Are your pieces mircowave / dishwasher safe?
Are your pieces mircowave / dishwasher safe?
No. Most of my pieces have real 24k gold on them, which can absolutely not go in the microwave. These pieces are also not dishwasher safe. For all of my ceramic work I recommend hand washing after each use, as this is the most gentle way to clean them and keeps your handmade ceramics looking brand new.
Will you restock any designs I missed out on?
Will you restock any designs I missed out on?
To keep each collection unique, I will have a very limited stock of each piece. Once a piece is sold out, I can’t guarantee it will be restocked. So if you don’t want to miss out on a specific piece, make sure you sign up for my newsletter. This way you will always be the first to know about a new update!
