Indigo Mug

4.3" H x 3.4" W

A handy mug with a smooth white interior and beautifully textured exterior. Acclaimed Japanese potter Akio Nukaga crafts one-of-a-kind works of art for use in daily life. Modernist, with distinctly Japanese roots, the assured shapes and expressive surfaces are grounded with an earthy, rustic texture. Each one of Akio Nukaga’s signature pleated designs are thrown and carved by hand at his countryside studio in Kasama, Japan.

We recommend hand washing with a mild, non-acidic and non-abrasive dish detergent, such as Seventh Generation or Planet Dishwashing Detergent. This piece is neither dishwasher safe nor oven safe. Please note that direct use on wood may cause water marks or scratching. A hallmark of Akio's pieces are the rustic texture of the surfaces. Over time this piece will develop a rich patina creating a record of the many ways you use it in your daily life.

In 2009, Akio traveled overseas for the first time to exhibit and share his pottery with a new audience at the Heath LA showroom. Since that show, Akio has brought new work to Heath every year, and the friendship that’s formed along the way is as soulful and alive as the objects themselves.
