Pair of Magnificent Porcelain Mugs by a Master Craftsperson
Featured in numerous major newspapers and media outlets, this special pair of mugs is crafted from exquisite Arita porcelain—a fitting tribute to the birthplace of porcelain. These high-end Arita ware mugs, elegantly presented in a branded paulownia wood box, boast the intricate beauty of wheel-thrown and hand-carved openwork patterns.

Elegant Form
These mugs feature gracefully sweeping lines and perfectly balanced handles. Every detail, from their appearance to their shape, has been meticulously designed. With thin rims and a comfortable mouthfeel, they are surprisingly lightweight and offer ample capacity, making them versatile for various beverages.

Arita Porcelain White and Magnificent Peonies
These mugs are a tribute to "Arita," the birthplace of porcelain, and the brilliant "white" color that is its hallmark. Delicately carved peony flowers adorn the luminous white porcelain. Peonies are often likened to beautiful women, described as "when standing, a peony; when seated, a chrysanthemum; when walking, a lily." Known as the "King of Flowers," peonies have symbolized elegance and have been cherished for their splendor throughout history.

A Testament to High-level Craftsmanship
When illuminated, the peony motifs on these mugs shine and shimmer. The ability to intricately carve uniform peony patterns requires a high level of skill unique to the craftsman. Arita's clay is exceptionally hard, making it challenging to turn on the potter's wheel. Despite these difficulties, the craftsman has expertly applied advanced techniques to create finely detailed openwork carvings, considering every angle to achieve optimal translucency.

An Exceptional Grip
To achieve the most beautiful presentation of the openwork carvings, meticulous attention has been given to the mug's shape. These mugs weigh only about 230 grams each, offering a lightweight and comfortable grip. This makes them a delightful choice for enjoying your daily beverages.

Practicality as Everyday Tableware
Porcelain is the ideal choice for everyday tableware. Its non-absorbent and easy-to-clean properties make maintenance a breeze. Unlike earthenware, it doesn't retain any earthy odors, allowing you to fully savor the flavors of your beverages. Additionally, these mugs are microwave and dishwasher safe, adding to their convenience.

An Upscale Gift for Domestic and International Recipients
Presented in elegant paulownia wood boxes, these mugs are suitable for versatile use. They make an excellent choice for both everyday enjoyment and as a gift for couples, whether domestically or internationally.
