This is a traditional "Yachimun" (pottery) mug from Okinawa. I purchased it at the Yachimun market in Okinawa a few years ago and have kept it with great care. 【Features】 • Warabai glaze: The "Warabai glaze," made from ash from burnt straw (wara), is used, and it features a slightly bluish, deep, and soft white color. • Beautiful crackle: The even crackle creates a beautiful contrast with the white, depicting a landscape. • Handcrafted texture: The black spots (iron particles) and small irregularities (pinholes) visible on the surface are unique characteristics of Yachimun, created by the clay's composition and firing process. • Easy-to-use size: With a stable form, it can be used as a coffee or soup cup. It has a comfortable thickness that fits well in the hand and excellent heat retention. 【Condition】 • Used a few times, with no chips or cracks, and in good condition. • There are some minor scratches and color changes on the bottom (earthenware part) from the manufacturing process, but this does not affect its use. 【Size (approximate)】 • Diameter: Approximately 7.5cm (excluding the handle) • Height: Approximately 8.5cm * Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. 【Notes on Purchase】 Each Yachimun piece is handmade, so there are individual differences in shape and color. I hope to sell it to those who understand the characteristics of handmade items (unevenness, distortion, crackle, etc.) and can enjoy the expression of the vessel as "flavor." I will carefully pack and deliver it. #Yachimun #Okinawa #Pottery #Mug #ArtistMade #Mingei #FolkCrafts #WarabaiGlaze #Vessel #CoffeeCup #Kitagama #YomitanYaki #CarefulLiving
