Sometimes, something may go slightly wrong in the factory when we make our plates, bowls and mugs, such as a small blemish forming in the glazing. Instead of throwing the pieces away, we’d rather lower the price and sell them as factory seconds. The quality is exactly the same as on other pieces. You can for example wash them in the dishwasher and use them in the microwave as much as you like. The only difference is that there’s an imperfection somewhere. Sometimes it’s so small you can hardly see it.
