How to Use

- Tea: hojicha, genmaicha or a builder's brew
- Soup: miso soup or a cup of broth
- Desserts: a mug of set custard or granola and yoghurt
Stacking cups and mugs are a practical Japanese answer to small kitchens and busy counters: they nest securely, take up less shelf space and are easier to carry in a stack. Glaze colours like bronze come from metal oxides in the glaze, and the way they settle during firing gives each piece slight variations. Mino ware (美濃焼) comes from the Tono area of Gifu Prefecture, around towns such as Tajimi and Toki, and is Japan's largest ceramic tableware tradition, with more than a thousand years of kiln history behind it.
What does blackened bronze look like?
Think of a dark, near-black base with warm bronze tones. Colours like this come from metal oxides in the glaze, so the balance of black and bronze can vary slightly from mug to mug. Photos will follow before the stock lands.

What are the dimensions?
We have the capacity, 320ml, but not the exact height and width yet. We will add them when the stock arrives.
Is it dishwasher and microwave safe?
We are waiting on the maker's care guidance and will add it here before the stock lands, so we are not going to guess. Until it arrives, hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft sponge is the safe choice for glazed Japanese tableware. Let it dry fully before stacking or putting it away.
When will my pre-order arrive?
This mug is on a container due in the UK in late October 2026. Order now to reserve one, and we will send it out once the stock has landed and been checked in. If the arrival date moves, we will let you know.
