Shirohakeme mug 350ml

Shirohakeme mug 350ml

An original Japanese ceramic mug crafted at the Marui Seito pottery studio in Shigaraki. The austere wabi-sabi aesthetic. A shape that widens towards the top, making it very comfortable to hold and practical. Suitable for both hot and cold drinks. Steel colour with white hakeme decoration. Natural ash glaze, harmonious colour scheme, raw character in the wabi-sabi aesthetic. Beauty captured in everyday, apparently ordinary objects...

Hechimon refers to unconventional items made by craftsmen in Shigaraki - it is a registered trademark of the Marui Seito studio. Just as nature creates diverse forms and each of us has a unique individuality, so “hechimon” dishes are characterized by diversity and each of them is one of a kind. Potters believe that, more than industrial products, they are thought to resemble agricultural products created by nature. Craftsmen produce clay vessels with dedication and creativity, respecting their uniqueness and giving them exceptional forms.
