Care & Specs Guide

A little care keeps a favorite piece looking its best. Practical notes on ceramic finishes, dimensions, handling, and display.

Material

MOONLIGHT HOME DECOR vessels are ceramic (earthenware or stoneware depending on series). Surfaces may be matte, satin, or gloss glazed. Reactive and hand-finished glazes show natural variation between pieces; that variation is part of the design language, not a defect.

Size tolerance

  • Height and diameter typically within about ±3–5% of the published size, unless a tighter tolerance is agreed for a project
  • Mouth and base openings can vary slightly after firing and grinding
  • Always confirm critical dims on the PI when vessels must fit a fixed niche or metal stand

Color and glaze

  • Screen and print color are guides; request a sample for shelf matching
  • Reactive glazes may pool darker at rims and feet
  • Lot-to-lot shifts can occur between kiln runs; reorder notes help us match prior lots when stock allows

Retail care

  • Wipe with a soft damp cloth; avoid abrasive pads on matte glaze
  • Most decorative vessels are not dishwasher- or microwave-rated unless marked
  • Confirm suitability for water use for your chosen product before adding fresh stems; empty and dry the interior regularly where suitable
  • Protect from hard knocks on stone floors and metal shelving edges

Display tips

Let a few related forms sit together, vary their heights, and leave space around them. Find arrangements to inspire your own on Lookbook and confirm product dimensions before planning a fixed display.

Packing and unboxing

Cartons use foam or paper nests suited to each silhouette. Keep carton labels when filing damage claims. See Shipping & Trade Terms for claim windows.
