Between them, the white background is speckled with blue dots, giving the decoration a light texture, a little like a printed fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of decoration recalls karakusa, the plant scrolls found for centuries on Japanese tableware and textiles: stems that stretch out and answer each other, with no beginning and no end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug is flared, with a wide-open rim and a brown clay foot left unglazed. The inside is light grey, and a brown line edges the rim. The handle, in light grey, keeps a simple rounded shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the moulding is mechanical; the finishing is done by hand, and the decoration is applied with transfer paper. Each mug may therefore show small differences in the joins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug with a light look, for tea breaks as well as morning coffee.
