~~ R A K U ** PIECES ARE **NOT** WATER TIGHT OR FOOD SAFE!!!

Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding Ceramic stoneware:

~~ Never leave lit candles unattended. Lanterns, votive holders, candle holders, and luminaries will become hot after they've been lit for a while, even if they are electric.

~~ Handling stoneware for the oven as follows:
Fast changes in temperature can cause thermal shock
Never take it directly from the freezer or refrigerator to the oven. Always let the piece warm up in the oven during the preheating of the oven. Never put ceramic ware on open flame.

~~ Stoneware can be used in a microwave oven, but will absorb heat: use care when taking a piece out of a microwave oven.

~~ Stoneware pieces are dishwasher safe. However, these are one-of-a-kind pieces, so handle them with care when washing to avoid chipping. Once a piece is chipped it is likely that a crack has developed as well. The piece will become weak at the crack and further heating and cooling may exacerbate the problem. It is recommended that it should no longer be used to heat and serve food. If a piece does break, gluing is not recommended for utilitarian pieces. If you do repair a piece, use it as decorative only.
