Renée answers your questions
Is your pottery dishwasher safe? Can I use it in the microwave?
Yes! … It is microwave safe, dishwasher safe and leadfree.
   
What are the "oven proofing instructions" ? 
Plates, bowls, etc., can be warmed in your oven to 200 F.
For baking at 300 F or higher, the pottery needs to be oven proofed. Instructions follow:
1. place in a clean, cold oven.
2. turn your oven on and set temperature at 500 F
3. as soon as your oven reaches 500 F, turn your oven OFF.
4. do not remove your pottery. Leave it in the oven (with the oven door closed ) to cool down naturally. Remove when cool to the touch.
5. your pottery is now ovenproofed “forever”! No need to do it again!
   
Why does the Bali pattern cost more?
The layers of jewel tone colors in our Bali designs gives each piece a wonderful richness and depth. This effect is achieved through handpainting 3 intricate layers of design with different glazes. This process is very time consuming. Consequently, Bali is just a little more exotic in both look and price than our other designs.
