Each Onggi is handcrafted in Korea using natural clay and glaze.
Because every piece is made by hand, slight variations in color, shape, and size are to be expected. Small marks, glaze flow, and subtle surface variations are natural characteristics of the making process and should not be considered defects.

As a vessel made from natural materials, your Onggi may develop subtle changes over time. These changes are part of its unique character and journey

Please handle your Onggi with care. Strong impacts or sudden temperature changes may cause cracking or breakage.

Keep out of reach of children. If your Onggi becomes damaged or broken, discontinue use immediately. Broken ceramic pieces may be sharp; we recommend wearing gloves when handling or disposing of damaged pieces.

Please follow your local waste and recycling guidelines when disposing of ceramic products, as regulations may vary by region.

Part of the Journey
As each Onggi is handcrafted from natural clay, a small amount of fine clay dust may appear during transit.
This is a natural characteristic of the material and not a sign of damage. A gentle rinse before first use is all that's needed.

Before First Use
Gently rinse your Onggi with lukewarm water before first use. Allow it to dry completely before storing matcha or other ingredients.

Gentle Cleaning
Use a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, metal scrubbers, or harsh chemicals.
Rinse thoroughly to remove any remaining soap residue.

Dry Thoroughly
After each use, ensure both the interior and exterior are completely dry.
Do not store while damp or leave in enclosed spaces with trapped moisture.

Storage
Store only when completely dry.
Avoid direct contact with other ceramic pieces that may cause chipping or damage.
For long-term storage, keep in a well-ventilated area.
