Large Japanese Mug, Ink Black Paisley

A large mug covered in an ink black paisley pattern, set on an orange base.

Paisley teardrops intertwine with small flowers and scrolls over the whole surface. The dense, fine decoration reads well both up close and from afar.

The unglazed bottom of the mug takes on an orange tint, and a brown line outlines the rim and the handle. This contrast between the dark decoration and the warm clay gives the mug plenty of character.

At 13 cm high and 400 ml, it suits large teas, coffees, hot chocolates or herbal teas. In Japan, these large handled mugs are also used for beer.

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