Lustrous Turkish Blue: A Mug with Turquoise Glaze

White earthenware clay, where the glaze color shines through, allowing you to enjoy the rustic texture characteristic of pottery. Lustrous sheen, delicate crackling, and a beautiful turquoise glaze with colors like a southern sea. This mug is created by combining these two elements. The plump, rounded shape is charming, and the curves fit comfortably in your palm. The Turkish blue color pairs well with white, deep dark colors, red, and yellow. It's recommended for milky café lattes, black coffee, minestrone, or pumpkin soup. It can also be used as a vessel for affogato, with espresso poured over ice cream, or for serving fruit cocktails. Enjoy a cozy and relaxing time with your favorite drinks and dishes. All processes, from kneading the clay to shaping, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, are done by hand in our studio, which is 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 individuality. The item you receive will be the same as pictured. The surface that contacts the table will be sanded smooth before shipping. Additionally, the Turkish blue color can be a bit challenging to reproduce accurately in photos, and depending on the light source, the actual item may appear slightly more yellowish than in the pictures. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and kindly ask for your understanding in advance. We explore various combinations of glazes and clays, constantly seeking better pairings, and create a diverse range of pottery in various colors and shapes. These are vessels that cannot be made exactly the same; they are unique pieces that appear similar but are one-of-a-kind. We would be delighted if you could find a piece that you love. We hope you enjoy the warm atmosphere woven by the clay and glaze as a touch of color in your daily life. ーーーーー *Size and Weight* - Diameter: 8.5cm, Base diameter: 4cm, Height: 6.7cm - Weight: 215g ーーーーー *Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of pottery, it may absorb water, and in some cases, the crackles may become stained or moisture may seep through. For this reason, we treat our tableware with a waterproof sealant for ceramics before shipping, so there is no need for initial sealing (mezome). This waterproofing process requires 2-3 days, which is why we set the shipping period to 5 days from the order date. If you do not require the waterproofing treatment, please let us know at the time of purchase. - Cutlery shown in the product images is not included. - We strive to photograph and edit product images to be as true to the actual product as possible, but please be aware that colors may appear different depending on your monitor settings and lighting conditions. - As we also sell on other platforms, in the unlikely event of overlapping purchases, the item will be shipped to the customer who completes the purchase procedure first. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. - While microwave (for reheating) and dishwasher use is possible, the vibrations from microwaves and the high-pressure spray of hot water may accelerate deterioration. We kindly ask that you refrain from using them as much as possible. - Please do not use in ovens or over direct heat. - After use, please wash thoroughly and allow to dry completely before storing in your cupboard or elsewhere to prevent staining and mold.
