Frequently asked questions
PRODUCTS
TURNAROUND TIME: Our average turnaround time is 4 to 6 weeks, excluding delivery. Larger orders may take longer. We will let you know if any of your pieces are on backorder.
SHIPPING AND DELIVERY: Given the nature of our ceramics, we prefer studio collection or delivery by hand. If shipping is required, the customer is responsible for all shipping and insurance costs.
RUSH FEES: Where we agree that an expedited turnaround is achievable, a 20% rush fee will be applied to the total order. We will make every effort to meet the agreed deadline, but the nature of the creation process and factors beyond our control mean that completion by that date cannot be guaranteed.
INSURANCE: We have experienced a few heartbreaks along the way, so insurance is required for all shipped items.
HANDMADE VARIATIONS: Every piece has subtle variations that reflect the handmade process. We celebrate these differences as part of each vessel’s character. We stand behind the quality of our work, while embracing the individuality of handmade ceramics. We invite you to visit the studio to choose and collect your future heirlooms. Call 615 509 1776 to arrange an appointment.
CUSTOM ORDERS: We typically accept orders from our current dinnerware collection, but we are always happy to hear your ideas and explore whether Particle Ceramics can bring them to life.
