Product Care
At Timbaris, we believe beautiful pieces are meant to be lived with and enjoyed for years to come. Each ceramic and wooden piece is thoughtfully crafted with natural materials and traditional techniques, giving every object its own character.
With proper care, your Timbaris pieces can remain beautiful, functional, and part of your everyday rituals for years to come.
HANDLE WITH CARE
Our ceramics are made for everyday use, but they are still handcrafted and can break or chip if dropped or handled roughly.
Please handle each piece with care and avoid sudden impacts, especially when placing ceramics on hard surfaces or stacking them together.
While our pieces are designed for durability, no ceramic is completely unbreakable.
FOOD-SAFE & MADE FOR EVERYDAY USE
Our ceramic tableware is designed for everyday dining and made with food-safe materials and glazes.
Each piece is carefully fired to achieve durability, strength, and a beautiful lasting finish.
For specific care instructions, please always refer to the product information provided with your piece.
HAND WASHING
For the best long-term care, we recommend hand washing your ceramics with warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft sponge or cloth.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, metal brushes, or harsh scrubbing tools, as these may gradually affect the surface and finish.
After washing, allow the piece to dry completely before storing.
DISHWASHER & MICROWAVE
Some Timbaris ceramics may be suitable for dishwasher or microwave use. However, hand washing is always recommended to preserve the beauty and longevity of handmade ceramics.
If using a dishwasher, place pieces carefully to prevent them from knocking against one another and use a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
When using a microwave, avoid sudden temperature changes and never place a cold ceramic piece directly into a very hot environment.
Always check the individual product description for specific dishwasher, microwave, or oven recommendations.
AVOID THERMAL SHOCK
Ceramics can be sensitive to sudden and extreme changes in temperature.
Avoid moving a ceramic piece directly from the refrigerator or freezer into a hot oven, or from a very hot environment onto a cold or wet surface.
Allow your pieces to gradually adjust to temperature changes whenever possible.
NATURAL VARIATIONS
Every Timbaris ceramic is made with care, and slight variations in color, glaze, texture, shape, and size are a natural part of the handmade process.
Small variations, subtle marks, or differences in glaze are not imperfections. They are part of what makes each piece unique and a reflection of the hands and craftsmanship behind it.
No two pieces are exactly alike — and that is part of their beauty.
WOOD CARE
Our wooden pieces are made from natural wood, a living material that can naturally change over time.
To keep your wooden products looking and feeling their best, wash them by hand with mild soap and warm water. Avoid soaking them in water for extended periods and do not place wooden pieces in the dishwasher or microwave.
After washing, dry thoroughly with a clean cloth and allow the piece to air-dry completely.
Keep wooden products away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, excessive heat, and humidity.
CARING FOR THE NATURAL BEAUTY
With time and regular use, natural materials develop their own character.
Your ceramics may develop subtle changes in glaze, while wooden pieces may deepen in color and develop a richer patina.
Rather than signs of wear, these changes are part of the life of a natural object.
At Timbaris, we believe that the most beautiful pieces are not those that remain untouched, but those that grow more personal with time and become part of your everyday story.
