With proper care, MUKAKASA ceramics are designed to last a lifetime. Each piece is dishwasher safe but not suitable for microwave use. As every item is handmade from natural clay, slight variations in shape, tone, and finish are natural and celebrated as part of the craftsmanship. Over time, and with regular use, each piece will develop its own individual patina, reflecting its unique character and history.
