For me, there are two key requirements for a tea mug, and by extension when designing one. Firstly, it has to hold a generous amount, and secondly, the rim should not be wider than the body, letting all the cosy heat escape too quickly. These were my two parameters when designing, and my koshi mug is the result. It features soft curved hips in the body, giving a larger capacity, before gently tapering in to the rim, helping to keep the tea hot.
Koshi refers to the hip of a teabowl.
Tea mug hand built using the technique pinching with a flecked stoneware clay body and a white glaze.
8.5cm h x 7.5cm d approx (excluding handle)
300 ml capacity approx
Food safe, hand wash only please.
