Care

Quality Materials & Expertise
Selected Materials
Made from high-quality Japanese ceramic, completely free of harmful impurities and heavy metals. The faded sand-toned glaze is achieved by meticulous application of natural pigments that create soothing organic shades reminiscent of Japanese beaches and desert dunes. The ceramic composition guarantees excellent heat retention while remaining lightweight and pleasant to handle. The paints and glazes used are food-grade, heat-resistant, and contain no toxic substances. This high-density ceramic perfectly resists thermal shocks and intensive daily use.
Manufacturing Process
Each mug is crafted by Japanese artisans who inherit a ceramic tradition dating back to the 12th century. The manual wheel-throwing imparts subtle variations that make each piece unique. After the initial shaping and controlled drying, the mug undergoes a first bisque firing. The characteristic sand glaze of the Sand Fade collection is then carefully applied before a second high-temperature firing that permanently vitrifies the surface. This multi-step artisanal process ensures exceptional quality and remarkable durability. The slight color variations between each piece are the signature of this authentic craftsmanship.

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Usage Is the 200 ml capacity sufficient for a coffee?
Absolutely. The 200 ml capacity perfectly matches several popular coffee types. It’s the ideal size for a double lungo espresso, a short American coffee, a traditional Italian cappuccino with balanced proportions, or an Australian flat white. For filter coffee lovers who prefer large cups, this size encourages serving several small fresh portions, following the Japanese style that favors quality over quantity. This approach helps keep each cup at the optimal temperature and better appreciate the aromas. For tea drinkers, 200 ml is the perfect portion for a single infusion.
Care Does the sand color stain with tea or coffee?
No, the vitrified sand enamel resists stains very well thanks to its perfectly smooth, non-porous surface. However, with intensive daily use of black teas or strong coffees, slight tannin marks may build up at the bottom of the mug over months. These marks can be easily removed with baking soda or diluted white vinegar. Immediate rinsing after each use prevents any lasting buildup. The sand tones naturally camouflage these slight patinas better than pure white, making it a practical choice for heavy use. If you appreciate the wabi-sabi aesthetic, these signs of use tell the story of your daily relationship with the object.
Compatibility Can I use this mug for cold drinks as well?
Of course. Although primarily designed for hot drinks, this mug is perfectly suitable for cold or iced beverages. Use it for iced teas, frappé coffees, smoothies, fresh fruit juices, flavored waters, or non-alcoholic cocktails. The thick ceramic also keeps freshness well, thermally insulating the cold liquid from the external ambient heat. Just avoid moving it directly from the freezer to a very hot dishwasher to prevent thermal shock to the ceramic. In summer, you can even pre-chill the mug to serve iced drinks that stay fresh longer. Its versatility makes it a true four-season accessory.
Durability Is this handmade ceramic sturdy enough for daily use?
Yes, absolutely. Despite its delicate and artisanal appearance, this Japanese ceramic is remarkably durable. Used in professional restaurants for over 30 years, it perfectly withstands intensive daily use with repeated washing. The multiple high-temperature firings during manufacturing guarantee exceptional strength and excellent resistance to daily thermal shocks. With proper care and avoiding violent drops on hard surfaces, your mug can accompany you for decades. The ceramic does not degrade over time and does not lose its properties. On the contrary, it develops a patina of use that reflects your shared history with the object, according to the Japanese wabi-sabi tradition.
Dimensions Is the handle comfortable for different hand sizes?
Absolutely. The handle was designed with universal ergonomics that comfortably fit hands of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. The handle opening offers generous space allowing two to three fingers to pass through easily, depending on your grip preference. The rounded section of the handle prevents any uncomfortable pressure points even during prolonged holding. The handle-body junction is reinforced to support the weight of a full mug without bending. For those who prefer to hold their mug with two hands like a Japanese bowl, the cylindrical shape of the body also allows this traditional enveloping grip. This dual grip option greatly increases daily comfort of use.
Quality What does Sand Fade mean and why this collection?
Sand Fade literally means faded sand in English, evoking the aesthetic of Japanese beaches where the sand takes on soft, organic hues under the influence of natural elements. This collection celebrates the beauty of earthy neutral tones that bring serenity and a connection to nature into our often visually overstimulating interiors. The sand color palette recalls traditional Japanese ceramics Bizen and Shigaraki, known for their natural glazes in warm brown tones. Choosing this collection means opting for a timeless design that transcends trends without ever aging, embodying the discreet elegance and understated sophistication dear to Japanese aesthetics. An object that soothes the eye and mind with every use.
