Characteristics and Special Features

Important note: It is normal to observe very thin cracks in the glaze of the Baeckeoffe Terrine. These micro-cracks are necessary to allow the clay to expand and contract without cracking. They are more or less visible depending on the piece and the colour, and become more pronounced with time and use.

A natural shrinkage of pottery ranging from 2 to 8% is completely normal and results from the phenomenon of water evaporation transforming into gas, causing molecules to move closer together.

These characteristics are natural and authentic properties of handcrafted pottery made in Alsace, and do not constitute manufacturing defects.

It can also happen that a slight lack of paint can occur under the handles of the mould when turning it over, this is not a defect as everything is covered with protective varnish and presents no aesthetic lack, as it is located under the handles and not visible.
