🏷️ Care & Handling Instructions

Hand Wash Only: Wash gently by hand using a soft sponge, warm water, and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap.

Avoid Abrasives: Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these will permanently scratch the gold gilding and the delicate glaze.

No Dishwashers: The intense heat, water pressure, and harsh detergents in dishwashers will dull the colors and strip away the gold trim.

No Microwaves: The bright gold trim contains actual metallic accents. Placing this teapot in a microwave will cause sparking and permanently damage both the teapot and your appliance.

Prevent Thermal Shock: If you choose to use this teapot to serve hot tea rather than as a display piece, always pre-warm the ceramic by rinsing it with warm tap water first. Pouring boiling water directly into a cold teapot can cause the glaze to "craze" (develop fine hairline cracks).
