Ridged Mug Leaves Red - Crafted By Koyo Kiln Medium Bowl Nobumasa Kiminami forms and glazesGlazed and fired by hand, this mug holds the quiet character of something made individually not uniform, not repeated exactly, but consistent in weight and presence. It is the kind of piece that improves with use. Koyo Kiln forms and glazes each mug by hand in Japan, working at a pace that allows every piece to be made individually. The result is a mug that carries the marks of its making never perfectly uniform, always consistent in character.
