The Kiln Mug, handcrafted in Gifu, employs a distinct cracking mold technique to reduce seams and preserve the authentic design. The creation of its complex shape involves rigorous adjustments to avoid any warping or misshaping during the kiln firing process. Additionally, the use of specific glazes designed to change in the kiln accentuates unique variations in each phase, ensuring that no two mugs are exactly alike. Each piece emerges from the kiln as a unique artefact, bearing the marks of its individual journey.
