Lemba Pottery – Terms and Conditions

ABOUT OUR WORK

All Lemba Pottery work is handmade and will show the marks of this process. Our gas firings due to reducing conditions which may occur produce unique differences in colours and glaze reaction and this means every item you purchase is completely unique and a one-off. We do however create groups of work that are clearly a ‘set’ with minor variations.

All our items:

Are handmade and show the marks of this process
Are made of stoneware clay and glazed with our own glazes.
Are unique with differences in applications of glaze and slight variations in size.
All items intended for food and drink are food safe and meet European hygiene standards.
Most items are dishwasher and microwave friendly.

HEALTH & SAFETY

All Lemba Pottery is lead free and all items intended for use with food or drink are food safe.

How do I care for my Lemba Pottery item?

Most food/drink items are dishwasher and microwave safe but we recommend hand-washing. Do not soak in water for long periods or expose to direct heat or extreme variations in temperature. Please take care not to over-heat in the microwave.

Large decorative items should only be dusted or hand washed to prevent breakages or chipping.

*COVID19 UPDATE

All items are sanitized and packaged carefully to ensure your safety, but please always wash your items with soap and water before using them.

SHIPPING

How quickly should I expect my parcel to arrive?

Ready to ship items:

Cyprus orders: We arrange delivery of packages once a week. If you live in Cyprus, you can expect your package within 7 business days, once sent.

International Orders

Worldwide shipments should be with you in 20 business days. Please keep in mind that once an item leaves Lemba Pottery studio to be sent abroad, it is in the jurisdiction of the receiving country’s postal service and customs. Once an item is in customs it can be held by that country for up to 45 days. We do not have authority over the package at this time. It is the buyer’s responsibility to contact your local postal services or customs to locate a package, as Lemba Pottery is no longer in possession of the item once it leaves Cyprus. Please check your email for a tracking number and file a claim if an item is held in customs for more than 45 days.

Custom/special orders:

Custom items may take up to a month to be shipped after an order is placed. Pottery takes time to dry and requires two firings. We will make sure to keep you updated on the progress of your order and estimated delivery time.

Taxes/VAT:

Lemba Pottery is not responsible for taxes or customs charges. Please keep in mind that if you are located outside the European Union, you may need to pay customs fees upon pick up of your parcel.

You, the customer, are responsible for all taxes and duties imposed by your country of residence for importing goods. These charges are out of our control, and are different from country to country depending on the products ordered and the rates of duty and charges imposed by the country in which you live. Please check with your country's customs office to determine their procedures and any potential charges.

Lemba Pottery is not responsible for any packages that are held by international customs agencies and it is not the responsibility of Lemba Pottery to make the customer aware of these delays. They are beyond our control. Your package may arrive at your local post office or delivery centre and be held until pickup and payment is taken care of. If you neglect to pick up your package and it is returned to us, we will not refund the charge for original shipping.

Tracking

Tracking numbers will be available as soon as the items will be dispatched.
