Koishiwarayaki Koishiwarayaki indigo glazed mug tumbler Shuzangama Kiln

This mug is perfect for molding to your preference for a generous size. Can also be used as a beer cup or tumbler. The glaze is an original recipe left by Shuji I. The blue ware was fired by the founder in his later years, using only the original Koishiwara clay. Shigenobu II and Takeshi III have taken this original recipe and added various expressions to it. We are working on the expression of various indigo colors, such as space patterns, ring patterns, and oceanic patterns. Please note that the actual colors may differ from the pictures shown here due to the convenience of monitors. There may be dents of about 1mm called "pinholes" on the surface. Pinholes are a phenomenon unique to ceramics and are not defective.
