The “Face-to-Face Mug Series” was born from a mother’s heart yearning for her child far away in this era of solitary dining. Cats, dogs, penguins and others facing you will warm your heart.
The Cat Mug appears to be listening intently to your stories with its adorable expression, but actually depicts the scene of it scrambling upwards, eyeing the goldfish beyond its gaze. The cat’s gaze shifts depending on whether the goldfish is positioned on the inner side or the base.
Meanwhile, the Dog Mug explores themes of a dog waiting obediently for its owner’s return or heeding the command ‘Stay!’. Technically, it utilises the soaking properties of cobalt pigment to create a design where the silhouette of the dog itself or the owner’s pose appears as a white outline on the mug’s interior.
The Penguin Mug features large, endearing expressions of a parent and child penguin. Like the Dog Mug, it also allows you to enjoy white silhouettes of the penguins inside the mug, created using cobalt pigment.
Each piece is meticulously crafted by hand, resulting in subtle variations in head shape, posture, and expression. Additionally, the handle orientation is designed for either right- or left-handed use, allowing you to face the animal. Please choose according to your preference.
The mug measures 9.5cm in diameter (12cm including handle), 10cm in height, and weighs approximately 265g.
The price is ¥4,000 (excluding tax).
