DELIVERY & SHIPPING

All prices are in €. International orders may be subject to customs, taxes, import duties, or other fees imposed by your local authorities. You, as the recipient, are responsible for any such charges.

PICKING UP YOUR ORDER In addition to standard shipping, you can also choose to pick up your order at our studio in Weesp. To do this, select “Pick up at the studio” at checkout. Once selected, I will email you the available time slots for pickup.‍ ‍

ORDERS FOR LARGE OR HIGH-VALUE PIECES Shipping for large or high-value artworks varies depending on the size, weight, and destination.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Ceramics: Handle with care, avoid stacking heavy pieces and protect them from sudden temperature changes, which can cause cracking. Use gentle cleaning agents and a soft cloth or sponge rather than harsh detergents.

Vases: To make cleaning easier, you can place a smaller container inside the vase to hold flowers. Please note that some vases may not be completely watertight. Avoid leaving water standing for long periods to protect the glaze.

Additional Tips: Dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid exposing ceramics to direct sunlight for long periods to preserve colors and finish.
