Quality Control

Quality checks follow the ceramic through production.

QC is not a single inspection at the end. Ceramic production is reviewed at the stages where defects can actually be identified: form, drying, surface preparation, glaze, firing, branding, assembly and packing.

QC checkpoints

What is reviewed before a batch is released.

01

Form & mold

Form completeness, obvious deformation and working-mold condition are reviewed.

02

Drying

Pieces are checked before later firing stages for cracks, warping and handling defects.

03

Surface preparation

Edges, seams and surfaces are refined before glaze or decoration.

04

Glaze application

Coverage, intended color direction and obvious application defects are reviewed.

05

Firing result

Finished pieces are checked after firing for surface, glaze and structural issues.

06

Dimensions & branding

Critical dimensions, logo placement, text and approved visual references are checked for custom projects.

07

Fountain components

Pump, filter, assembly and removable components are checked for fountain orders where applicable.

08

Packing & count

Product count, protective packing, retail presentation and master-carton preparation are reviewed before dispatch.

Custom projects

The approved sample or specification becomes the reference.

For glaze, logo, size or packaging projects, approval is documented before bulk production. Natural ceramic variation is expected, but the production run is checked against the agreed form, finish, branding and commercial specification.
