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 certified 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.
- What are the shipping rates?
-
Shipping within the EU is a flat rate of €10. Shipping to North
America is a flat rate of $20. If you'd like to arrange shipment
somewhere else, please
contact me and we can work
something out.
- Can I pick up my order in Amsterdam?
-
Yes, definitely! To avoid shipping costs, you can select the "Local
Pickup" option during checkout. I'll then get in touch to arrange a
pickup time and place, most likely at the studio where I make the pieces in Amsterdam West.
Social Media Presence
- Are you on Instagram or other social media?
-
Yes, I'm on Instagram as @bluelikeceramics but it's not a place I like to spend time, so it's mostly used as an inactive portfolio. Join the subscriber list to stay informed of future plans! I promise I won't send you a million promo spam emails.
