Care Guide
Our Ivy at Home hand-thrown, hand-painted pottery is both dishwasher-safe and oven-safe, making it as functional as it is beautiful.
To preserve the original finish and ensure your pieces stay in pristine condition for years to come, we recommend hand washing whenever possible.
You may occasionally hear popping sounds as the pottery adjusts to temperature changes—this is completely normal and part of the character of our rustic ceramic style.
Similarly, over time you may notice small grey markings on the surface. These are not cracks, but a natural result of the red clay firing and glazing process, intentionally preserved as a hallmark of our handmade aesthetic.
Each piece is unique in color, shape, and detailing, and we celebrate this individuality. We encourage you to mix and match across different batches and patterns—this layered, collected look is at the heart of true Ivy style.
