Products

Are the products really handmade? expand_more

Yes. Every piece under Barbarossa is shaped on a potter's wheel or by hand by our craftsmen at our workshop in Kütahya. No product is a mass-produced factory item.

Are products within the same series identical to each other? expand_more

No. Due to the nature of handcrafted production, there may be small differences in each piece — in size, color tone, or texture. This difference is the mark of authentic craftsmanship and originality.

Are products safe for food contact? expand_more

Yes. The glazes we use are non-toxic natural mineral compounds and are suitable for food contact.

Are products dishwasher safe? expand_more

Hand washing is recommended for handcrafted ceramics. A dishwasher can damage the glaze texture in the long run.
