Recycled Mino-yaki Porcelain Mug

An innovative recycled porcelain mug made in Gifu Prefecture.

£28 per item

This environmentally friendly mug is crafted from a blend of recycled soil and ceramics, that have been pulverized and mixed with fresh clay. The recycled ceramics come from broken tableware and products that were deemed unfit for sale due to cracks or other imperfections, but now, have been given new life as an aesthetically designed mug. The production process of these mugs follows the long-standing traditions of Mino-yaki porcelain making, however, the coarsely broken pieces of ceramics and soil give it a special texture and rustic appearance that mimics earthenware. In addition, the firing process incorporates ash made of pulp and lumber, further reducing waste and giving the mug a distinct character. Made with great attention to detail, this eco-friendly mug is a statement about the makers’ commitment to sustainability.

There might be individual differences as each piece is handmade using recycled porcelain.
