This vintage Otagiri stoneware mug features an endearing seaside scene of puffins standing together along a snowy shoreline, rendered in soft coastal tones that evoke a calm, wintry atmosphere. The gently flared form is finished with a creamy off-white body, a pale sky-blue wash near the rim, and a deep blue band at the base that grounds the design. A comfortably curved handle complements the smooth glaze transitions, while subtle variations add to its handcrafted character. The artwork is signed by the artist, W. Morgan, near the lower edge of the scene, adding a distinctive collectible detail to this charming, nature-inspired mug.
