Product Details
Kinto’s Ceramic Lab range balances orderly, neat design with the warm patterns of sandstone native to the Nagasaki prefecture of Japan, where it is manufactured. Many transformations occur in this unique porcelain, which is ultra-sensitive to temperature and humidity when firing. This results in a speckled, ‘scorched’-looking pattern called ‘yo-hen’. The natural unevenness of this effect is balanced by orderly, neat shapes and a sharp delineation between the textured bottom and smooth sides. This mug is ideally suited to large cups of coffee and tea, and looks wonderful mixed with other colours in this range. Do not overheat heat empty or without water in the microwave, and avoid using abrasive scrubbers or steel wool. Due to the unique nature of this pottery, pieces may vary slightly in patterns and shapes.
Why we love it
