The wash is a painted washed colour with no pattern. The patterned products consists of patterns that are embedded into the product. These patterns vary in design and in many cases are quite tactile.

Wonki Ware is a mix-and-match collection. We rotate over 100 different patterns. If one purchases a number of pieces in a particular colour, one can expect to get a range of mixed patterns. If a stockist has a particular pattern in stock, you are obviously able to purchase it from them, but we are not able to supply patterns to order.

Wonki Ware is generally safe for microwave use, but there is always a small risk involved due to uneven heating and possibility of thermal shock.
Please proceed with caution.

Most pottery products are able to withstand high temperatures (e.g. ovens and dishwashers). However, pottery does not endure “freezer to flame" or visa versa so Wonki Ware should not be placed directly into a hot oven. Place them in a warm oven and then slowly increase the heat to the desired temperature. Allow your Wonki Ware to cool down completely before placing them in the refrigerator.

Because every piece of Wonki Ware is hand crafted from start to finish, no two pieces will ever be identical. Therefore all sizes shown are approximate. Over fifteen different individuals are involved in the manufacture of every single piece of Wonki Ware. Unlike items of mass production, hand made items will always vary slightly in size and shape. This is what makes Wonki Ware so special.

No. Wonki Ware is hand-made from clay and fired to stoneware temperatures. The products are exceptionally robust and can be enjoyed in everyday use, but like any ceramic or pottery object, they are susceptible to chipping or cracking if not properly cared for.
