Large Japanese Mug, Blue Flowers

A large straight mug covered in blue flowers, standing on an ochre clay base.

On a white background, small blue flowers repeat all the way up, linked by fine lines that draw a delicate network. The decoration, dense yet light, recalls the printed patterns of traditional Japanese fabrics.

The base is left as matt, unglazed ochre clay, which makes the mug look as if it stands on a small plinth. The same warm tone highlights the edge of the handle, which is straight and generous and offers a good grip.

At 13 cm high with a capacity of 400 ml, it suits large cups of tea, coffee or hot chocolate. In Japan, these large handled mugs are also often used for beer.

It is part of the shop’s series of large 400 ml mugs, available in several patterns: enough to choose one for each member of the family.
