Shigaraki Seihagi Blue-Green Carved Latte Soup Mug
A Latte-First Mug with a Calm, Earthy Presence
Designed as a Japanese soup mug, this generously sized vessel is especially well suited for matcha lattes, hōjicha lattes, café au lait, and other warm drinks enjoyed slowly. The 360 ml capacity gives enough room for milk and foam while still feeling balanced in the hand.
This is a mug for unhurried moments—larger than a standard coffee mug, but never bulky.
Seihagi Glaze with Natural Blue-Green Variation
The Seihagi glaze is known for its soft blue-green tones and natural variation. During firing, the glaze reacts gently with the clay, creating subtle shifts in color that feel organic and calm rather than uniform.
The carved surface adds quiet texture, allowing the glaze to pool and settle in different ways on each piece. No two mugs are exactly alike.
Also Suited for Soup and Light Meals
Beyond lattes and milk-based drinks, the wide, open form makes this mug equally comfortable for soup or small servings of stew. This versatility reflects how soup mugs are used in everyday Japanese kitchens—functional, adaptable, and easy to live with.
With a capacity of approximately 360 ml, this mug sits between a standard coffee mug and a small bowl. It’s ideal for generous drinks or light soups without feeling oversized or heavy.
