Storage
- Store bowls in a cabinet or on a shelf where they are not prone to falling or being knocked over.
- To prevent scratching when stacking, consider placing a soft cloth or paper towel between each bowl.
Care Tips

- While stoneware is durable, it is not impervious to breakage. Handle with care to prolong the life of your bowls.
Troubleshooting
Chipping or Cracking
- If a bowl chips or cracks, discontinue use immediately to prevent injury.
- Refer to the 'Warranty' section for information on potential replacements.
Stains
- For stubborn food stains, a paste made from baking soda and water can be gently applied and left for a short period before washing.
- Rinse thoroughly after treatment.
