This cozy round mug is crafted using the traditional kohiki technique, where red iron-rich clay is coated with a white slip, giving it a gentle, warm finish distinct from glossy glaze.
Its softly rounded shape fits naturally in your hands, making it ideal for coffee, tea, or even a warm bowl of soup.
The natural texture and subtle variations in each piece reflect the beauty of handcrafted pottery. As you use it over time, the mug will develop a unique character—making it truly your own.

Because kohiki pottery is absorbent, it may darken slightly over time with use—this is a natural and beautiful part of its aging process.
To help reduce staining, briefly rinse the mug in clean water before each use.
Note: We do not recommend sealing it with rice water.
Moisture patterns may appear after washing but will disappear as the mug dries completely.
