These pots are high fired in a gas reduction kiln. &nbsp;Due to the nature of the minimally processed wild clay there are occasionally small rocks, fissures and iron specks, these occurrences do not compromise the function of the pot. &nbsp;All the pots are carefully checked before going out to the world.&nbsp;All of the pots are functional and food safe.&nbsp;They are also dishwasher and microwave safe.CV: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.melissaweisspottery.com/pagecv">https://www.melissaweisspottery.com/pagecv</a>Contact: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.melissaweisspottery.com/">https://www.melissaweisspottery.com/</a> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/melissaweisspottery">https://www.instagram.com/melissaweisspottery</a>
