This is a ceramic piece: a fall or impact may damage it, and any broken fragments could cause cuts.
We recommend hand washing to preserve it better, although it is also dishwasher safe.
It is not intended as a toy a lit candle may catch the attention of children or pets, so we suggest keeping it out of their reach, especially when in use. Avoid placing flammable materials nearby while the candle is lit or during lighting. Always light it calmly and carefully, fire can cause burns.
