This mug has a beautiful, deep color. The center of the cup is slightly narrowed (not too much, as it would make it difficult to drink from), which adds an accent to the overall form. The size is just right, not too big and not too small. Like coffee cups, the lip and handle are key to a good mug. The lip is made slightly outward, making it very easy to drink from. The handle is made using a method passed down through generations, directly from our lineage, making it very easy to hold. The glaze is Namako glaze (sea cucumber glaze), and the inside of the cup is gray to make the color of the drink stand out. Namako glaze is a very unstable glaze, and depending on the kiln temperature and atmosphere, it can turn green or light blue. This mug has become a work with a complex and beautiful flow of glaze, both blue and green. ○ Size: Approximately 8.5cm in diameter, approximately 8cm in height, capacity approximately 200ml ※ If you wish to purchase multiple items, please send a message before purchasing, and we will create a combined product.

Please understand. ○ As a characteristic of pottery, there may be small holes called pinholes, or iron particles, which are iron content in the soil, may appear as black spots, but these are not defects and are part of the pottery's character, so please use them without worry. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Mug, coffee cup, kiln, cafe, home cafe, Japanese, pottery, Mingei (folk art), birthday, wedding gift, housewarming gift, commemorative...
