Healed by the flying swallows

This mug has a picture of a swallow flying happily in the sky. The bluish, transparent material looks like an endless sky. There are pure white clouds floating there. The glaze on the clouds is so three-dimensional that you can feel it with your hands, giving it a fluffy texture. The scenery is similar to the sky in early spring when swallows migrate. The happily dancing swallows give you a very relaxing feeling.

Large capacity for large drinks

It has a sharp shape but is tall and large enough to hold plenty of drinks. It seems to be useful as the first drink of water in the morning or as coffee after a meal. Another nice feature is that the handle is wide so you can fit your fingers in comfortably. It's neither too light nor too heavy, so it feels very stable. It's also perfect for children's mugs.

About the style and atmosphere

Although it has a Japanese-style appearance, the clean design gives it a somewhat modern impression. Porcelain is durable and easy to handle, and its light weight and thickness make it easy to use on a daily basis. I also like that it can be used in the microwave and dishwasher. It is a pottery that naturally fits modern lifestyles while retaining its traditional charm. ■You can also view the Kumo Swallow series of items here.  Swallow list page

Arita ware

Arita ware is porcelain manufactured in Arita Town, Saga Prefecture, and its surrounding areas. It is said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, and has been widely used as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Arita ware has a strong image of transparent white porcelain and decoration, but there are also many items that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.

Kiln owner's recommendation for maintenance

-For ceramic materials, soaking the pot in water for a while before use will prevent stains and spots from penetrating. For more information, please click here. About cleaning the utensils.
-After use, wash the pot as soon as possible, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a dry place. Insufficient drying may cause mold and odor.

Product Characteristics/Handling Precautions

-Due to the handmade nature of this product, there may be individual differences in color, shape, size, thickness, etc.
-There may be pinholes, patterns, and colors may vary.
-The surface of the items may have very small "black spots" or "paint splashes" or "pinholes that do not reach the base of the items.

What you need to know before purchasing

-The appearance of items is created by spots, blurs, unevenness of glaze, shading, and deflection of shape, which cannot be found in mass-produced items.
-The charm of handmade items lies in the fact that no two items are exactly alike, with pinholes, penetrations, distortions, and the like, and that the colors, size, and shape of each piece vary slightly from one to another.
-The coloring, size, and shape of each piece is slightly different, and the charm of handmade items lies in the fact that they are not exactly the same.
-The finish is relatively uniform, but because it is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, color, and so on. Uneven color/uneven firing Because the glaze is applied by hand, the glaze may not be applied evenly. The firing process is also uneven because the temperature varies depending on the firing location in the kiln.

-Some pieces have engraving on the reverse side of the piece, while others do not. Please note that we are unable to make any specifications.
