Mug Porcelain Cloud Swallow Arita Ware

*Sales price has changed due to price revision. (October 2022)

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 Tsubame series of vessels here. Cloud swallow list page ■Others, 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 vessels that use brightly colored glazes, giving a rich variety of colors to your dining table.
