A soup mug that warms your hands
Terre by masamura craft

Terre was introduced by masamura craft, the ceramics brand produced by POTPURRI. Named for the Earth, these earth-toned pieces suit both Japanese and Western meals. The mug was designed with soup in mind: its generous capacity accommodates a hearty serving, and its wide opening is easy to reach with a spoon. Hold the handle when the contents are hot; once it is comfortable to touch, the rounded shape is lovely to cradle in your hands.

Beautiful earth tones, each with its own character

Vivid blue recalls the colors of the Earth, brown has a glossy amber warmth reminiscent of soil, and the distinctive speckles of white bring clouds to mind.

These distinctive pieces, each with a different finish, emerged from the makers' experiments with new techniques and many rounds of prototypes.
Ceramic production generally aims for a consistent finish through an even application of glaze and careful control of its concentration. For Terre, the makers instead explored the changes that take place inside the kiln, repeatedly testing glaze concentrations and application methods to develop a finish that varies from piece to piece. Each piece receives a thin glaze coating by hand, with glaze allowed to pool at the bottom. The result is a natural, beautiful gradation across the surface.
