Shelf span
A long shelf with no support will bow. The rest of the note is how we do that in the studio.
A span past a metre wants a centre support, or a thicker shelf. We will say which when you send the wall width. A shelf that holds ceramics is not a picture hook. The wall has to take the weight.
Books are heavier than they look in a row.

Fix it into the studs, not only the plaster.

Shelf span is a note from the studio, not a rule for every house. The pieces in this edit were finished with this habit in mind.
If a piece you have does not match the note, send a question with the name of the piece. The reply is more useful than a general rule.
An inquiry is the way to ask. Nothing on this page is a charge.
Keep the habit small enough that it happens. That is the care these pieces were made for.
