That is the point: the oils from your hands are what give an unglazed jar its depth after a year or two. Keep it away from cooking oil, which darkens unevenly.<\/p>\n<p>A chipped rim can be ground smooth with a diamond pad. A crack through the wall cannot be repaired invisibly, and we would rather replace the piece than pretend otherwise, so every order carries a two-year making guarantee.<\/p>\n<p>Do not put a glazed piece on a direct flame or in a microwave if it carries a metallic glaze.
