Hydrangea Rough-Hewn Mug

The warmth of the mug’s stoneware texture combined with an elegant Hydrangea painting imparts a rare and luxurious quality. The pink and purple flowers and the dark green leaves have a three-dimensional look against the natural color of stoneware. An eye-soothing item to help you relax on a busy morning or hectic afternoon.

The unique coarse texture of the mug has a rustic feel and the gradient colors of stoneware created by firing at high temperatures is a graceful combination of nature and art. 

It compliments any space and lends an air of style and sophistication by simply placing it on a table. It is an exquisite piece suitable for daily use or for entertaining guests.

We also have the same mug with a cherry blossom painting, so see more items from our Kutani Mug collection. 

Bizan Kiln

At Bizan Kiln, every piece is hand-painted by highly skilled artisans. The viscosity of the pigments, the choice of brushes, and the painting techniques are carefully adjusted for each design, ensuring that no two pieces are ever the same.

Layers of pigment are applied to achieve rich, three-dimensional surfaces, imbuing each piece with the warmth and vitality that only true handcraft can convey. The graceful balance of delicacy and boldness, expressed through vivid hues and confident brushwork, embodies the refined beauty that defines Kutani ware and lies at the heart of Bizan Kiln’s artistry.
