Pedestal Swallow Mug with Handle

This handcrafted mug by Mio Tomine captures a sense of quiet gentleness and everyday charm. Its form stands gracefully on a pedestal base, featuring a delicately embossed swallow in flight surrounded by soft blue accents along the rim and leaves. The rim’s warm brown glaze adds a touch of rustic contrast against the calm ivory body — a subtle nod to the natural textures of handmade pottery.

Each piece is individually wheel-thrown and kiln-fired in Japan, resulting in gentle variations in tone, glaze flow, and relief details. With a comfortable handle and balanced weight, this mug fits beautifully into daily rituals — perfect for your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a quiet moment of warmth.

Care Instruction:

• Before first use, soak the bowl briefly in hot water or boil gently to help seal the clay.

• Before serving, soak it in clean water to reduce staining from tea or sauces.

• After use, rinse promptly and dry completely before storing. Avoid soaking it with other dishes.

• Tiny pinholes, glaze crackles, and specks of iron are part of the handmade process and will develop a richer patina with time.

Each piece is handcrafted and individually inspected. Slight variations in color, glaze thickness, or form are part of its natural charm.
