Koishiwara Ware Yamamaru Kiln Rich amber color Antique-style Round mug

Transform your home time into a café experience with Yamamaru Kiln's Amayuu glazed mug. Introducing a mug from Fukuoka Prefecture's Koishiwara ware kiln, Yamamaru Kiln, featuring a rich, captivating color. This beautiful brown hue comes from a traditional glaze called “Amayuu.” True to its name, it features a deep hue reminiscent of melted candy or caramel, paired with a glass-like, translucent sheen. This luxurious color, applied generously even inside, combines with the steam rising from your poured coffee to evoke the nostalgic atmosphere of a retro coffee shop. The rich expression, shifting from amber to deep burnt brown depending on the light, is a hallmark of handcrafted work. Its plump, rounded form fits comfortably in the hand, making it perfect for enjoying warm drinks during cold seasons or relaxing evenings. This is a mug for adults that grows more cherished with use. ■ About Yamamaru Kiln: A kiln that continues to create “practical tableware” suited to modern life while preserving the traditions of Koishiwara ware.
