Important Information

We kindly ask that you return products in their original packaging whenever possible, together with any accessories included, and pack them securely to prevent damage during transportation.
-
For ceramics and other fragile items in particular, we strongly recommend reusing the protective packaging materials provided with your original shipment, such as bubble wrap, protective cushioning, and shipping boxes. To the extent permitted by applicable law, customers may be responsible for damage occurring during return shipping due to inadequate or improper packaging.
-
For products that are unsuitable for return due to health or hygiene reasons, the right of return may be restricted under applicable legislation if the protective packaging, seal, or similar protective element has been opened after delivery.

Once we receive your returned product, our team will inspect its condition and verify whether it meets the return requirements. You will be notified of the status of your return by email.

Once your return is approved, your refund will be initiated within 3–5 business days. The time it takes for the funds to appear in your bank account or on your credit card may vary depending on your bank or payment provider.

Return requests for products that do not meet the applicable return conditions may be declined. In such cases, the product may be shipped back to the customer after we have contacted them.

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any mandatory consumer rights provided under applicable law.

Kindly include your order number and a photograph of the product you received.

Are there variations in handmade products?
Yes. A significant portion of the products in our Dot Ceramics collection are individually hand-shaped or crafted on a pottery wheel.
Due to the nature of handmade production, slight variations in shape, dimensions, surface finish, color, glaze distribution, and texture may occur between individual pieces.
These variations are not considered manufacturing defects but rather a natural reflection of the handmade process and the unique character of each piece.
However, your statutory consumer rights remain fully protected in cases where a product has defects or issues that affect its intended use.
