These pots look and feel the same as any others, and it is usually only after a few years of watering and wear that any lack of adhesion might begin to have an effect. All of our pots are meant to age with time, weather and use to further enhance their antiqued nature -- a certain amount of variation and wear is perfectly normal. However, if you feel that your pottery is exhibiting an abnormal amount of aging, please contact us so that we can assist you.
