Made to Order
Every MIOS piece is made to order and one of a kind. Variations in form, texture, and glaze are natural to the ceramic process and part of what makes each work unique. No two pieces are identical, and these distinctions are celebrated as part of MIOS’s character. All sales are final.
Rarities
Rarities are one-of-a-kind studio works available exactly as shown on the site and are ready to ship. These pieces are unique explorations in material and form, created outside the boundaries of our core collections. Each Rarity is photographed and listed individually; the piece you see is the piece you will receive. All sales are final.
Custom Orders
We also accept custom requests and can provide quotes for personalized commissions. Customizations may include glaze finish, sizing adjustments, or other design details. Please reach out to discuss your project and we’ll guide you through the process. All sales are final.
Studio Visits
If you would like to see the work before purchasing, we invite you to schedule a visit to our Brooklyn studio or arrange a private virtual viewing.
Care
MIOS pieces are designed to be lived with and treasured. Each work is made in ceramic, finished by hand, and requires gentle care to preserve its surface and integrity over time.
- Ceramic Surfaces: Dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that may scratch or dull the glaze.
- Glazes: Subtle shifts in tone and finish are natural to the ceramic process. Do not expose glazed surfaces to prolonged moisture.
- Lighting Components: For lamps, use the recommended bulb type and wattage. Always unplug before cleaning.
- Glass Domes: Clean with a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh or ammonia-based cleaners that may affect the finish.
- Placement: Place pieces on stable surfaces, away from direct impact or sudden temperature changes. Though durable, ceramics remain fragile if mishandled.
Each MIOS object is made to endure as both a functional design and a sculptural work. With proper care, these pieces will retain their distinct presence for years to come.
