Japanese flower mug – Brown or navy blue

A flared mug covered with large flowers, in two decorations.

On a chocolate brown background, large round white flowers with radiating petals evoke kiku, the chrysanthemum, Japan's emblematic flower associated with longevity.

On a navy blue background, large white flowers outlined in yellow intertwine with pale blue foliage, as on traditional Japanese textiles.

The foot, left as bare brown clay, adds a natural, warm touch.

It comes from the Toki-Tajimi area in Gifu Prefecture, the cradle of Mino ware.

A small size for coffee, tea or herbal teas. Made in Japan.
