●24-GN 1 Crackle Finish Mug
When the water in the rice fields dries up and the soil cracks, various sizes of fissures form unpredictably. That scene was so striking that I couldn’t forget it."
Gaku Nakane, who draws inspiration from natural elements, is known for his signature crackle glaze technique. The way the cracks form can vary significantly depending on the type of clay used.
The beauty of this piece evokes a quiet presence, as if it were standing undisturbed in nature, transforming the atmosphere of any space it inhabits. It’s not only visually captivating but also designed with the user in mind, offering a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
This mug enhances the warmth and flavor of your hot beverages, making each sip even more satisfying.

Please Note:
*Each item is handmade, so variations in size, shape, and color may occur, and the product may differ slightly from the photo.
*To prevent liquids from seeping into the cracks, we recommend filling the mug with warm water before pouring hot food, or cold water before cold food.
*Since the mug has a water-repellent finish, there is no need for additional sealing.
*Be cautious when using with fine powdery substances, as they may get trapped in the cracks.
