Naginowa Shigaraki Ware Greige Mug Cup

This is a Shigaraki ware mug.

It has an octagonal rim and bottom, which is unusual for a mug.

It has a slightly rugged, rock-like surface that is comfortable to the touch, making it suitable for a stylish room.

The cup is shallow and small, so use it when you want to take a breather, such as during a coffee break.

Since each cup is handmade one by one, there may be differences in appearance and texture from product to product. Please understand this beforehand.

This is Shigaraki ware. Shigaraki ware is a pottery produced mainly in the area around Koga County, Shiga Prefecture. Shigaraki ware excels at large ceramics, and in the past, hibachi (brazier) pots were often made. In modern times, flowerpots, vases, and washbasins are also produced in large quantities. Shigaraki ware is also famous throughout Japan and the world for its raccoon dog figurines.
