The ability to see great beauty in the everyday objects around you is a rare and precious gift. This traditionally crafted porcelain mug from Claska’s ‘Do’ Japanese lifestyle brand is the perfect example of an ordinary object with extraordinary charm and appeal.
Each ‘Do’ mug is handcrafted in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan, using the ancient artisan techniques of Hasami Yaki. Although these traditional pottery crafting techniques are more than four hundred years old, the pure elegance and softly tapered profile of this Claska mug looks perfect in the modern home.
The inspirational ‘Do’ gallery and brand was launched by Tokyo’s iconic, Claska boutique hotel in 2008.
Under the leadership of visionary director, Takeo Okuma, the ‘Do’ philosophy is to exhibit and showcase some of the most authentically beautiful, modern day Japanese lifestyle products available to discerning buyers.
Exquisitely conceived by Japanese designer, Teruhiro Yanagihara, these 1616/Arita TY White Series Cups take coffee to the next level. Light and graceful in the hand, this Arita-yaki ceramic ware has a heritage that is said to date back to 1616.Even with their origins in the distant past, the minimal design of these handmade ceramic cups is distinctly modern.
The subtle, conical body of each cup connects with a squared, ‘D’ shaped handle. The lip is gently flared, offering a relaxed, comforting mouth-feel. The TY Series range includes a small espresso cup, a mid-sized coffee cup and a modernist mug for larger servings.
