Japanese Handcrafted Ceramic Mug by Yukiko Oonakahara is a carefully selected tableware piece from Japan, suited to everyday meals and a quietly considered table.
Description
A handcrafted ceramic mug by Japanese artist Yukiko Oonakahara, embodying quiet wabi-sabi aesthetics.
Each mug is hand-built, resulting in organic lines, natural textures, and a soft matte white surface. No two pieces are the same — subtle variations in form and texture make every mug entirely unique. Suitable for everyday coffee or tea, and equally beautiful as a small art object.
About this item
