This vintage Otagiri stoneware mug features a peaceful lakeside scene of swimming loons rendered in soft blues and blacks, gliding through calm water with grassy shoreline details. The gently flared form is accented by bold horizontal glaze bands, including a rich burnt-orange rim, an earthy olive transition, a creamy white body, and a deep blue base that grounds the design. A comfortably curved handle echoes the warm orange glaze at the top, while subtle glaze variations throughout enhance its rustic, handcrafted character. A beautifully balanced nature-themed mug that brings a quiet, outdoors-inspired charm to any coffee or tea ritual.
