This handcrafted pedestal mug by Mio Tomine carries a quiet sense of nostalgia. A small swallow in deep indigo takes flight across the soft ivory glaze, bringing a feeling of calm and simplicity to your daily table. Subtle embossed patterns add texture and depth, while the refined shape gives it an elegant, timeless balance.

Each mug is handmade and kiln-fired in Japan. Because of the natural firing process, slight variations in tone, form, and glaze may occur—small details that make every piece uniquely personal.

Perfect for morning coffee, tea, or a gentle dessert moment, this mug adds warmth and character to everyday rituals.

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.

Size: Diameter: approximately 7.5cm | Height: approximately 9cm | Capacity: 220ml
