## Description

This is a very beautiful mug with an exceptional harmonic design and a matt and durable finish. The large mug is a perfect vessel for serving cafe late, tea or soup. The small mug is very suitable for serving drinks as well as deserts or yoghurt. The mug also is very functional when enjoying cold or hot drinks since lacquer ware does not convey heat easily. When serving hot drinks the outside of the mug remains cool. With cool drinks the outside will not become wet from condensation water. The finish is using the Makiji technique, which applies powder of earth ware to fix the lacquer to wooden core. The result is a beautiful matt and very durable surface. The handle is very beautiful and its soft but robust shape as well as the gentle feeling of the lacquer make it easy to grasp the mug. Wajima Kirimoto is one of Japan's most prestigious brands for lacquer ware. The company was founded during the Edo period and is is now run by the 3rd generation of the Kirimoto family. Kirimoto is located in Wajima city in the Ishikawa prefecture and therefore is a typical producer of Wajima lacquer. The beauty of Kirimoto products comes from the combination of traditional lacquer techniques with contemporary designs. Kirimoto Lacquer is one of the most innovative producers of lacquer ware. The famed durability of Wajima lacquer ware is the result of both the high quality of the lacquer refining process and the composition of the undercoatings unique to Wajima. A finely powdered mineral called jinoko is used for the undercoating. This undercoating is much more durable than the rice powder, which is most commonly used to fix the lacquer to the wooden core. The special undercoating and the up to 8 layers of lacquer made Wajima lacquer so durable. Wajima is also famous for its chinkin style colored and metallic decoration called makie.
