Is it okay to place HASAMI PORCELAIN tableware directly on a wooden dining table without a coaster or mat?

Unlike the smoothly finished upper part, HASAMI PORCELAIN tableware has an unglazed bottom, giving it a matte and rough texture^[1]. If this rough bottom comes into direct contact with a wooden surface and creates friction, it can cause scratches or scuffs on wooden furniture or tables^[2].

Therefore, when using it on a wooden dining table, it is safer to place a fabric mat or coaster underneath the tableware. When serving food or clearing tableware, lifting and moving the dishes gently instead of sliding them across the table will also prevent damage to the furniture surface.

hmmm, placing a mat in between can be a thoughtful way to protect your wooden dining table while still enjoying the simple and natural texture of unglazed clay.
