Karafuru Mug S25948
Morning coffee or evening tea, the ritual begins with what holds the liquid. These Japanese ceramic mugs earn their place through weight in the hand, glaze depth that catches light differently each hour, rounded form that warms palms whilst steam rises.
Each mug bears unique glaze patterns, the high-temperature firing creating marble effects no two identical. Colours pool and drift across surfaces like watercolour on wet paper, the kiln's heat determining final appearance beyond potter's complete control. This surrendering to fire is part of Japanese ceramic tradition, accepting that beauty emerges from process rather than precision.
The rounded base sits stable on tables whilst the rim curves slightly outward, guiding liquid smoothly. Compact form concentrates heat, keeping drinks warmer longer than wider vessels.
Dishwasher safe, though hand washing preserves glaze brilliance longer. Microwave compatible. Each piece unique in glaze pattern and colour intensity.
