{"product_id":"mug-japonais-evase-fleurs-bleues","title":"Flared Japanese mug, blue flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eA flared mug where blue flowers crowd against each other, like a carpet of petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five-petalled flowers are drawn in a mid blue, a little softer than indigo, with a darker centre. They cover the whole outside and sometimes overlap. Between them, fine broken lines form an irregular network, reminiscent of cracked ice or crazing in a glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white background takes on a slightly bluish tint, and the inside stays a very pale blue-grey. A brown line circles the rim and follows the outline of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is flared: narrow at the bottom, it opens wide towards the top. The foot is left as unglazed brown clay, a warm contrast beneath this fresh decoration. The rounded handle offers a comfortable grip, even with slightly sleepy fingers in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug is shaped in a mould, then finished by hand; the decoration is applied with transfer paper. The joins between the flowers can vary slightly from one mug to another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor tea, coffee or hot chocolate, with a touch of spring all year round.
