Moon Vase II

Please keep in mind that no two pieces are alike. Because each piece is handmade, "imperfections" may be present. These imperfections are due to the handmade process and enhance the beauty, individuality, and personal touch of each piece. Slight variations in size, shape, color and glaze consistency may occur, making each piece truly unique and one of a kind.

All glazes used are non-toxic, lead-free. Unless stated otherwise, most of my ceramics are food and microwave safe. To ensure that your piece stays in great shape, and due to delicacy, I highly recommend that you hand wash. Please note, ceramics with 22k gold are not microwave safe.

All artwork is thoughtfully packaged and handled with the utmost care, shipped from my cozy studio in Maine. Orders are typically shipped within 1-2 weeks via USPS or UPS, depending on the size and weight, with tracking included. All U.S orders are $10 flat rate shipping.

Prints are made-to-order, carefully printed, and hand-cut in studio. Each print is enveloped in archival paper, encased in a transparent fine-art slip, backed by a thick board, and mailed in a sturdy flat-mailer or rolled into a sturdy tube, depending on its size.

Oil paintings require time to properly cure. I will not ship a painting before it's ready for safe packaging. New releases are generally ready to ship within 4-6 weeks of purchase, while older pieces can be shipped within 1-2 weeks.

International shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on package weight and distance. Any additional border fees, duties, and handling fees are the buyer's responsibility. Please be aware of your country’s taxes and fees applied to the purchase of international goods.
