Made in Japan
SETO WARE HAND PAINTED CAT MUG | BLUE & RED
£19.00Hand-painted in Japan's historic Seto pottery tradition, this charming mug brings playful feline illustrations and a touch of craftsmanship to everyday moments.
Description
Made in Japan, this charming ceramic mug turns an everyday cup into something a little more playful.
A group of softly illustrated cats wraps around the body of the mug, each with its own expression and pose. Look inside and you will find one final detail: a tiny paw print tucked just below the rim.
The design comes in two colourways. Blue pairs deep indigo brushwork with blue-and-white cats for a cooler, more traditional Japanese feel, while Red combines warm orange-red with softly coloured cats for a brighter and cosier character.
Each works perfectly well on its own, but the contrasting colours also make them a natural pair — two related designs without being completely identical.
A Touch of Seto Craftsmanship
Made in Seto, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kiln regions, each mug carries a tradition of ceramic craftsmanship stretching back over a thousand years.
The playful cats are individually hand-painted, giving each piece subtle variations in expression and brushwork. A glossy glaze completes the finish, while a tiny paw print hidden inside adds one final delightful detail.
Summary
Playful, practical and easy to pair, these Japanese-made mugs bring a little feline character to an everyday cup of tea or coffee.
