Frequently Asked Questions
Product Care
- Are your ceramics dishwasher safe?
-
Yes, unless the product details say otherwise. A gentle cycle is fine,
but hand washing is always kindest to handmade pieces and recommended
for longevity.
- Are your ceramics microwave safe?
-
Yes, generally. Just avoid shocking the piece with extreme temperature
changes (like taking it directly from the freezer to a hot microwave).
If an item isn't microwave safe, it will be noted in the description.
- Any other care instructions?
-
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub pads that could scratch the glaze.
Like any ceramic piece, please handle it with care.
Materials & Process
- What type of clay do you use?
-
I primarily use quality stoneware clay sourced from trusted EU
suppliers. It's durable and great for everyday functional pottery.
- Are your glazes food safe?
-
Yes, absolutely! All glazes used on pieces meant for food or drink
(like mugs, bowls, plates) are lead-free and food-safe.
- Where are the ceramics made?
-
I make every piece by hand in a collective studio here in Amsterdam:
Keramiek Atelier Amsterdam.
Orders & Shipping
- Do you take custom orders?
-
Yes, I'm open to discussing commissions. Please reach out via the
Connect page or email me, and
let's talk about your idea.
- How long will it take to receive my order?
-
You can find details on processing times and estimated delivery in our
Shipping & Returns Policy.
Social Media Presence
- Are you on Instagram or other social media?
-
Nope, you won't find Bluelike Ceramics on platforms like Instagram
right now. I've made a conscious choice not to participate in most
social media platforms. While they work for some, I find they often
aren't the healthiest space for artists or individuals. It means I
really appreciate word-of-mouth and people sharing the work or the
website. Ceramics is a physical medium, and I want to embrace that
with more physical guerilla marketing campaigns as well as hopefully
some launch parties in the future. Join the subscriber list to stay
