This porcelain coffee mug (also perfect as a teacup with handle) is a functional piece of ceramic art, capturing quiet, cozy moments—like resting beside a sideboard filled with vases and flowers, or nestled near a collection of decorative bowls. The surface design features a finely illustrated large Japanese vase with a lush bouquet, alongside an armchair patterned with vintage florals and a cheerful yellow bird, evoking the warmth and charm of an intimate, story-filled interior.
Each mug is wheel-thrown and hand-painted, crafted using a rich layering of underglaze transfers, glaze, overglaze, metallic lusters, and vintage ceramic decals. These materials and techniques come together to create a richly textured, visually striking surface that blends technical precision with narrative whimsy.
Fired to cone 6 in oxidation, with multiple additional low-temperature firings at cone 018, this piece offers both durability and artistic complexity.
This mug is food safe, but due to its metallic luster decoration, it should not be placed in the microwave or dishwasher. For longevity, please gently hand wash with a soft sponge and non-abrasive soap.
