Mug made of black granite clay and cherry blossom glaze

Black granite clay has the rough texture typical of china clay and produces a calm black color. The white glaze is matte and has a gentle texture, and the cherry blossom-colored glaze is also matte and cute. This is a mug made by combining them. It's a little different from the usual mugs, as the handle is not shaped like an ear, but rather a slightly elongated mushroom-like shape. When holding a cup, pinch the handle between your thumb and forefinger, and place your remaining fingers under the cup to wrap around the cup. The wide bottom makes it a bit heavy to hold, but it also feels stable, so you can safely place it on your desk where you work. In addition, the white colored cup clearly shows the color of transparent drinks such as green tea and sencha, so you can enjoy it with a variety of drinks. This mug is recommended for coffee, cafe au lait, soup, etc. The combination of black granite and white matte glaze has a texture reminiscent of cookies and cream, and it looks a little delicious. When combined with the black granite glaze, the cherry blossom glaze resembles strawberry icing, adding a lovely touch of color to the cup. For production, I have a small electric furnace and an electric potter's wheel at home, and perform all processes by hand, from kneading the clay to shaping, unglazing, glazing, and final firing. Although mass production is not possible, each piece has its own unique expression and you can enjoy the taste of handmade products. The item you receive will be the same as the product image. The surface that touches the table will be sanded and delivered. Using a variety of glazes and clays, I create a variety of pottery in a variety of colors and shapes while searching for the best combination. It is impossible to make exactly the same items, and the vessels look similar and can be considered unique. I would be very happy if you found something you like. We hope you enjoy the texture and atmosphere unique to pottery and the calming texture of the matte glaze, along with your favorite drink. --- *Size and weight* ・Aperture 8.3cm High base diameter 7cm Height 6.4cm ・Weight 225g --- *Precautions for purchase and use ・Due to its characteristics, ceramics absorb water, and in some cases, the color may stain the penetration or water may seep out.
