This eye-catching mug features a twisted handle that naturally fits the fingers, offering exceptional stability and ease of use—even when filled generously.
Its softly rounded form combined with the twisted grip makes for a practical, everyday vessel with a striking presence.

The outer surface is carved with fine vertical ridges, a technique known as shinogi in Japanese craftsmanship.
Along these lines, black-brown and blue metallic glazes are brushed on, creating a dynamic flowing gradient that changes subtly with light and angle.
