Large Japanese Mugs, Blue and Red Dots – Set of 2

Two large mugs covered in dots, one mainly blue, the other mainly red.

On a slightly greyish white background, small blue and red dots line up in fine columns all the way up the mug. On one, red dominates; on the other, blue.

The base is left as raw clay, and the straight handle offers a firm grip. The simple, rhythmic decoration gives the mugs a look that is both graphic and warm.

At 13 cm high and 400 ml, they suit tea, coffee or cold drinks. In Japan, these large handled mugs are also used for beer.

A set designed for two: one colour each, in the same size as the shop’s other large 400 ml mugs.
