Product Availability

Products marked "In Stock" are ready for immediate shipment.

Some handcrafted ceramics are made to order. In these cases, processing times are always indicated on the product sheet . Delivery times are from the moment the item leaves our premises, until any processing is completed.

Mixed Orders: How Shipping Works

If an order contains items with different availability (available products + ceramics on order), the system generates two separate shipments :

1. First immediate shipment with available items
2. Second shipment upon completion of the custom ceramics

This option allows you to receive what is available immediately, without waiting for the artisanal processing times.
