Hasami Tea Mug 019

A smaller, more demure sized mug perfect for sipping tea (also great for coffee). Crafted from a proprietary blend of porcelain and clay; composed of a balance of curves and clean lines; functional yet artful. The texture of the matte mugs is very satisfying in the hand, like smooth wet sand; the gloss finish is a more traditional feel. You will absolutely reach for this mug daily.  PLEASE NOTE: Coloration varies and irregularities occur. This is the charm of handmade ceramics.  Due to the organic nature of the porcelainware used for Hasami, unavoidable variations, color unevenness, and what Hasami craftspeople call “staining” appear in all Hasami Porcelain products. Variations are the result of uncontrollable chemical reactions between the glaze and the raw materials during the extreme firing process. Difference in color and texture is not considered second quality, nor is it considered defective or undesirable amongst the Hasami craftsmen community. It is a prized sign of beauty of the line’s one-of-a-kind character and nature. 11 ounces. 3 3/8 x 2 7/8 inches.  85mm x 72mm Dishwasher and microwave safe.  Made in Japan. Note: In photos with two sizes of mugs shown, the smaller size is the Tea Mug listed here.
