The blockmug is produced in Hasami-chō, Nagasaki-ken under the design leadership of Kyohei Baba-san. The design of the mugs is reminiscent of the American diner during the golden age. The philosophy behind the beautifully structured mug is that it should be practical and fun.
The colours are rich, vibrant and while the ceramic is fairly thick it is still elegant and enjoyable to use. The cups also stack neatly into an almost sculptural form.
Creator comments:
This mug is a joy to hold.
The handle’s interior is curved
with an angled bottom that
provides stability. The smooth
body interior has no corners,
making it easy to clean.
