Thrown
Every body is thrown by hand on the wheel, then left to dry slowly for nine days.
Days 1 to 9
-
Fired
Two firings: a bisque firing, then the glaze firing at 1,280°C, which makes it chip-resistant.
Days 10 to 12

In their words
Letters from the kitchen
-
It boils quietly enough that I can hear the radio over it. That alone was worth it.
MargotAsh glaze -
I chipped the lid in the first month. They posted a new one the same week and asked for nothing.
DevTenmoku glaze -
It looks like it belongs on the table, not hidden next to the toaster.

Questions
Questions
Anything we have missed? The workshop answers every email.
Is it dishwasher safe?
The body is. The base with the element in it is not: wipe that with a damp cloth.
What happens if I chip it?
Send it back. We repair it, or replace the part at cost, for as long as we are still making them.
Will scale build up on stoneware?
Less than on steel, but in hard-water areas use one descaling tablet a month.
Why is it more expensive?
Because one person makes about eleven a day, and they are paid properly to do it.
