This mug is made using the kohiki technique, in which a darker clay body is coated with white liquid clay slip. The milky-white surface contrasts with the exposed brown clay near the base, while vertical ridges add texture to the cylindrical form. The slightly irregular boundary between the two surfaces reflects the handmade nature of the piece, with individual variations in each mug.

Generously sized for coffee, tea, or other beverages, the mug has a substantial stoneware body and a flat, curved handle designed for a comfortable grip. Its combination of white slip, natural clay tones, and textured detailing makes it a practical choice for everyday use.
