Is it okay to leave ceramic items outside in the winter?
No. Although, most of our ceramic items are very highly fired for a long duration to make them very durable, the freeze-thaw cycle here in Colorado can damage any ceramic item. We recommend that you bring ceramic items indoors, if possible. If items are too heavy to bring indoors, raise them off the ground and cover them to prevent water from accumulating, freezing and thawing in any concave areas.
