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.

Care Instructions
Microwave and dishwasher safe.
For best preservation, avoid frequent microwave use.
When using a dishwasher, ensure that pieces do not touch—especially around the rim, which is more fragile.
To prevent staining from dark liquids, we recommend pre-use sealing (medome).
Always dry thoroughly after use to avoid mold around the unglazed foot.
