This large Sangiri Bizen ware mug by Hozan Kiln celebrates the beauty of natural ash glazing, a hallmark of Bizen pottery. During the firing process, ash settles on the clay, creating captivating gradients of earthy browns, smoky greys, and soft highlights that evoke a serene, natural landscape.

The mug’s generous form is both sturdy and elegant, with its smooth curves providing a comfortable hold. The unglazed surface invites you to feel the raw texture of the clay, while the subtle sheen of sangiri patterns adds depth and character. A versatile companion for your daily coffee or tea, this piece will develop a unique patina over time, reflecting the moments it shares with you.
