{"product_id":"mug-japonais-fleurs-mauves","title":"Japanese mug, mauve flowers","description":"\u003cp\u003eMauve flowers on fine stems, giving this mug an almost springlike softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flowers, in several sizes, are drawn in mauve and lavender, with a darker centre and outline. They are linked by fine brown stems that curl into small tendrils and carry long leaves. The drawing is delicate and lets the white background breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking closely, you notice that the wall is not smooth: light horizontal ridges run all around the mug and catch the light. They give the decoration a little depth and a lively feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shape is straight, with a rounded handle outlined in brown. The inside is white. The foot is left as unglazed orange-brown clay, creating a pretty contrast with the pastel tones of the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mug is shaped in a mould, then finished by hand; the decoration is applied with transfer paper. The position of the flowers can therefore vary slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gentle alternative to blue and white designs, for tea, coffee or an evening infusion. Also available in a larger size.
