This turquoise square mug is handcrafted by Wakasama Pottery, a respected kiln in Mashiko, Japan. Its softly rounded corners and vertical shinogi carving lines give the piece a clean, structured look while preserving the warmth and charm of handmade pottery.
The glaze features a slightly muted, gently weathered turquoise tone, creating a subtle shabby‑chic character. Natural variations in color and the matte finish highlight the organic beauty of Mashiko clay, offering a comforting, tactile feel every time you hold the mug.
Despite its compact appearance, it holds about 330 ml (when filled to 80%), making it a practical size for your morning café au lait, tea, or even a small serving of soup. It’s a versatile piece that fits seamlessly into everyday life.
A soft off‑white kinari version is also available in the same series. Pairing the two adds a sense of harmony and a light, refreshing accent to your table setting.
Microwave‑ and dishwasher‑safe, this mug combines everyday convenience with the warmth of traditional craftsmanship. A thoughtful gift for anyone who appreciates the quiet beauty of handmade Japanese ceramics.
