CARE AND MAKE
GOOJ objects are vitrified, porcelaneous stoneware fired to 2200° Fahrenheit making them high-fire clay bodies. After being slip cast, each object is then shaped and buffed by hand in a 10-step process by our artisans.
Crevices and marks on the objects are a natural outcome of the production, causing slight variations in appearance. Due to the organic nature of the porcelaneous stoneware, unavoidable variations, color unevenness, and slight staining nuances may appear on all objects. These variations are the result of uncontrollable chemical reactions between the glaze and the raw materials during the high-firing process.
Though our porcelaneous stoneware is considered the most durable in the spectrum of clay bodies, mishandling or heavy dropping of the items may lead to breakage. The interiors are sealed inside with glaze, ensuring an additional layer of food and drink safety with easy cleanup. For cleaning, hand washing with a clear, gentle soap will easily remove even the toughest wine stains. However, enjoying the object's natural aging process with each owner’s use is our greatest recommendation.

PLANET
As an eco-conscious company, we reuse and recycle all waste produced during production and it gets incorporated into future casts.
GOOJ makes every possible effort to utilize recyclable materials throughout every aspect of packaging and handling.
Your GOOJ items arrive to you in recyclable boxes that are filled with biodegradable, plant-based packing peanuts. Our leaflets are made from a blend of fibers: 30% hemp, 30% post-consumer recycled paper, and 40% responsibly forested paper.
We hope you will continue our efforts to keep our planet's waste volume at a minimum by recycling all paper materials and applying water to the dissolvable packing peanuts.
