Care & Keeping

To maintain the painted decoration and attractive finish, wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, abrasive cleaners or harsh cleaning products.

Terracotta is a naturally derived material with a long history in pottery, decorative arts and home accessories. Its traditional appeal and natural origins make it a valued material for artisan-crafted homeware.

As each piece is traditionally handcrafted and finished by hand, slight differences in dimensions, brushwork and decorative details may occur. These natural variations contribute to the individuality and character of handmade pottery.

Candle Safety: Always use an appropriately sized candle that sits securely within the holder. Tealight candles may also be used where suitable. Never leave a naked flame unattended. Place on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, curtains and other flammable materials. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Follow the supplier's guidance regarding suitable candle types and use.
