A plump, round mug with a matte glaze and a焦茶 (dark brown) finish.

White clay where the glaze's color shines through, allowing you to enjoy the rustic texture characteristic of pottery. This is a plump, round, generously sized mug, featuring a warm, off-white matte glaze, with a delicious-looking dark brown glaze applied to the exterior. The areas where the two glazes overlap have transformed during firing, resulting in a glossy, amber hue. For vessels with a whiter interior, you can also enjoy the colors of transparent beverages such as black tea or green tea. Perfect for generous servings of milk tea, coffee, cafe au lait, matcha latte, or hojicha latte. Its slightly wider shape also makes it suitable for serving potage soup or minestrone. Enjoy a cozy and relaxing time with your favorite drinks or dishes. All processes, from clay kneading to forming, bisquing, glazing, and final firing, are done by hand in our studio, equipped with a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel. While we cannot mass-produce, each piece has its own unique character, and we hope you enjoy their individual expressions. The item you receive will be the same as pictured. We will also polish the base of the mug where it meets the table. We are constantly exploring new combinations of glazes and clays to create a variety of pottery in different colors and shapes. Each piece is unique, appearing similar but truly one-of-a-kind. We would be delighted if you find a piece that speaks to you. We hope you enjoy the warm atmosphere woven by the clay and glazes as a touch of color in your daily life. ----- *Size and Weight* - Diameter: 9.4cm, Base diameter: 4.4cm, Height: 7cm - Weight: 245g ----- *Waterproofing Treatment* Due to the nature of pottery, which is porous and can absorb water, there is a possibility that colors may stain the crazing or that moisture may seep through. Therefore, we apply a waterproofing treatment to all our pottery before shipping. Pottery that has undergone waterproofing treatment does not require initial seasoning (waterproofing) at home. You can use it immediately after a light wash upon arrival. Items that have already been treated will be shipped within 3 days. Items that require treatment after your order will be shipped within 5 days. - Waterproofing agent name: Flip-Coat - Effects: Improved water and moisture resistance, reduced penetration of oils and acids, reduced staining and soiling, prevention of cracking due to freezing, prevention of mold and algae growth, prevention of penetration into crazing. - Features: Water-soluble, colorless, odorless, non-flammable, weakly alkaline.
