We take pride in our finished ware but sometimes a piece of ware will be produced that fails to meet our high quality standards. Instead of throwing these away, we mark them up and sell them on as seconds (you can tell if it is a second by looking for a scratch through the backstamp.)A fault that does not affect the performance of the piece is classed as a second. Such faults can include: Printing Fault (appearance, part missing or off-centre) Pin-holes (dimples in the would-be smooth glost finish) Specks (flecks of colour between the glaze and biscuit) Scratches on the surface All pieces are individually glazed and will vary slightly in colour. Part of the beauty of this design is that no two pieces are the same Dimensions: 8 inch, 20 cmzProduct Care: Dishwasher Safe Microwave Safe Freezer Safe Oven Safe Up To 170?c
