Iriomote Mug, Black — Okinawa

A mug from Iriomote-yaki Seiho Kiln, made amid the clear air and abundant nature of Iriomote Island.
There is a moderate weight of clay that reaches you the instant you pick it up, and a warm texture that settles against the fingers. The plain form and settled colour born of a craftsman's hand grow on you the more you use them, bringing a quiet ease to daily life.
Slightly large and stable in shape, it suits morning coffee, a generous pot of black tea or green tea, and works equally as a soup cup. The handle is designed so the fingers go right through and hold securely.
A piece for stepping a little away from the rush of the day and enjoying a blissful tea break, with the unhurried wind of Iriomote Island about you.
