Large Japanese Mug, Beige Cherry Blossom

A large mug covered in cherry blossom on a beige background, in soft, natural tones.

The cherry blossoms, drawn in fine plum-brown outlines, mingle with darker leaves on a sandy beige background. The delicate decoration covers the whole body of the mug.

The base is left as raw clay, and the straight handle takes on bluish and brown reflections. The glazed interior is a bluish grey that contrasts gently with the outside.

The cherry blossom, sakura, is the emblem of spring in Japan. Every year its brief and eagerly awaited flowering is celebrated with hanami, the tradition of gathering under the trees in bloom. Its fleeting beauty invites us to savour the present moment.

At 13 cm high and 400 ml, it suits large teas, coffees or hot chocolates. It is part of the shop’s series of large 400 ml mugs, available in several patterns.
