PHILIPPINES - Handmade Stoneware Mug in the Modern Raku-style



ITEM SPECIFICS.
  • Material:  vitrified stoneware.
  • Dimension:  height  - 100 mm.;  diameter of mouth - 90 mm..
  • Design:  green glaze in the (modern) Raku style;  handmade (by free forming on the potter's wheel).
  • Back stamp:  no back stamp, logo, or hallmark by the manufacturer.

Made in the PHILIPPINES.

NOTES:
  • I bought a lot of these high quality mugs (including other tableware which I will be featuring soon) from a trade expo.  The item is manufactured by Cagayan de Oro's The Stoneware Pottery, Inc.. 
  • I have their green, cobalt blue, brown, and black versions.  To tell you the truth, I consider this item (as with all the other items produced by The Stoneware Pottery, Inc.) as a work of art.  I love them!

A Bit of Trivia:
  • Did you know that The Stoneware Pottery, Inc. is a Filipino-German joint venture?  It is owned by German-national Clemens Wirth and founded in 2002 (although its origins can be traced back to 1994).  Their factory is at Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City.  The technology and all raw materials (clay and glaze) are from Germany.
