All MKM stamps, rollers, and hand rollers are carved in our own factory (we do not outsource this work to other companies) by MKM employees who are deeply committed to quality. Quality in the original, unprocessed wood, quality of design and carving, quality of the wood finish, and, of course, quality service for all our customers.

But what exactly does “quality” mean in the context of a simple wooden tool? At the design level, it’s somewhat of a personal choice. A design you like is a good one. But at the carving stage, the meaning is very specific: the edges of the debossed (carved) stamps all have beveled edges that compress the clay around the stamp and prevent cracks in the corners. None of the lines and patterns carved into the stamps and rollers are laser-cut (which always leaves a burnt vertical wall that then pulls up the edge of the design). So when the MKM stamp is pulled from the clay or the roller is rolled over the clay, the MKM tool releases perfectly without lifting the edges. Our stamps and rollers are also scaled to work well in the field of functional pottery—these tools are specifically designed and crafted for ceramic artists and potters.
