Shrimp and sea bream Mug Blue - Crafted By Pottery Raku

Pottery Raku glazes each cup in a layered blue — the color deepening at the base and lightening toward the lip where the glaze thins. Blue ceramic has been made in Japan for centuries, and this cup carries that tradition in a form made for daily use. Pottery Raku is based in Nagasaki, Japan. Each cup is glazed by hand from start to finish — shaped, glazed, and fired individually, with the lip and surface given the same care as the overall form. Japanese ceramics have been treasured across the world for generations, and a piece like this brings that living tradition to your own table. Formed and finished by hand. Yours will differ a little from the one photographed — that is the hand of the maker. Material: Pottery (ceramic) Made in Nagasaki, Japan Artisan: Pottery Raku Size: 9.5 × 8.3 cm (3.7 × 3.3 in) Because each piece is individually made, slight variations in form and glaze are the mark of a true handmade object.
