Large teacup (mug) with cloud pattern

An airy, tall cup with a design that matches its motif: A dense network of finely contoured clouds with curled edges stretches across the white background, drawn in a delicate blue line and without a discernible pattern repeat. Clouds have been a staple of Japanese textile and ceramic design for centuries, where they serve as a basic pattern filling entire surfaces. The unglazed foot in warm terracotta and the narrow brown rim line frame the design; the interior of the cup remains glazed in a light, calm hue. The angular handle protrudes widely and sits comfortably in the hand.
