United StatesGorgeous mug!
I’ve had nothing but a lovely experience using this cup thus far. It’s actually quite large, even larger than I expected, so it can almost double as a small yogurt bowl or even small soup bowl! I particularly like it for sipping on bone broth. Beautiful design. Soft gentle blue color in real-life (photographs more like indigo color). Easy to hold and the rim is so smooth. Thanks, Musubi, for making Mikawachi ware more readily accessible.
