Kakusho Kiln Flower and Bird Mikawachi Ware Mug Cup

An exquisite porcelain mug cup adorned with a captivating dance of birds and flowers, rendered in calming blue tones that evoke a sense of tranquility.

It displays an exquisite gradation, painted carefully by skilled craftspeople using brushes soaked in cobalt pigment, allowing the dye to flow naturally onto the porcelain. The dye "sinks" into the clay creating a gentle and soft shade of blue. The outlines are drawn swiftly with precision and care using soft and fine brushes along the contours of the flowers and leaves. 

The interior, with its refined painting of leaves, further complements the external design, striking a harmonious balance between the pristine white and serene blue. Not only is the visual appeal unmatched, but the cup's unique and elegant handle design ensures a comfortable grip. 

Crafted for durability, this cup promises to be a timeless companion for your cherished beverage moments.

Their craftspeople are skilled in the use of the gentle shades of blue characteristic of Mikawachi ware, and enhances its presence with the beauty of white porcelain.
