Arita ware | Akio Momota | mug cup

This long-awaited mug is Mr. Momota newest creation to date. There are many thick mugs in the market, but this mug is made of a thin fabric that Mr. Momota is very particular about. The thin fabric causes the weight of the handle to distort the shape during firing, but the beautiful form is created by his advanced technique. This work, which is carefully wheel-thrown one by one, is a light and easy-to-hold mug with a thin rim that makes it comfortable to the mouth. It is decorated with Momota's signature "Irodori" design, an abstract lapis lazuli glaze on a matte white porcelain base. It is an ideal gift for a loved one. *The unglazed white porcelain part (the matte part) is made of porcelain, so please rest assured that liquids and other substances will not soak through and stain this piece.
