Two-Toned Geppaku Mug - 260ml

This elegant mug is thrown from a textured Uji stoneware, draped in two glazes. The top is Asahiyaki's signature geppaku glaze, a rice straw ash glaze that fires into a milky blue. The bottom is an iron black glaze carefully applied to leave a small gap of bare clay, showing off the raw colour of the clay. The high temperatures of their climbing kiln bring out the rich colours of these two glazes which exhibit a range of hues as the glazes thins and pools across the mug's surface.

Before using it for the first time, it is recommended to soak the piece in water for 10 minutes. This will dislodge any dust from the clay as well as slow down the natural development of patina in the glaze.

This mug was made by the skilled craftsmen at the Asahiyaki studio and wood-fired in their climbing kiln.
