Tasteful texture
It's a large mug that can hold a lot. 
The calm colors and rustic atmosphere are attractive. You can feel the appropriate weight and feel stable. It has a slightly rough texture and a warmth that can only be found in earthenware. Each piece has slight individual differences in size, pattern placement, color, etc. That is also the charm of handmade work. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter, as no two items are the same. 
Utensils that can be used in various situations
Brew coffee or tea and have a relaxing snack time. You can also enjoy plenty of sweet cafe au lait that you want to enjoy slowly. 
You can also serve soups such as minestrone or corn potage. It's also great as a dessert cup with plenty of shiratama dumplings in it. The warm atmosphere of earthenware means you can use it for a long time without getting tired of it.

About the style and atmosphere
Although it is a work that gives you a sense of tradition, it is a modern and easy-to-use pottery that suits modern life. I would be happy if you could feel the warmth of each product made by hand, which is not found in machine-produced products.

What you need to know before purchasing
-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.
