Relief Mug White

£38


Beautiful tableware from the famous Japanese pottery town of Mashiko. Mashiko was once home to Shōji Hamada, celebrated ceramicist and founding member of the Mingei (folk craft) Movement, who through Bernard Leach shaped modern-day studio pottery in Japan and the UK.

This piece is by Tsukamoto, a highly regarded kiln operating today in this respected pottery enclave. It’s true to Mashiko’s Mingei origins: warm, solid, deceptively modest in design and intended for everyday life.

The design is a playful relief of tableware and vase motifs, with a clean ‘bran white’ colour from the rice husk ash glaze.

It’s rare to find such a fine example of Mashiko pottery outside of Japan, drawing upon its long and distinguished history.


Measures approx. 9cm tall.

For longevity we recommend washing by hand and drying after use. Please do not use in the microwave or dishwasher.

As each piece is individually handmade there may be tiny variations from the image shown.
