CHIPS - ELEGANT MUG – ANCIENT POTTERY SERIES
Inspired by the old cups once made for Europe and the United States, this new shape has been revisited with a touch of modernity.
Very light for its size, it is easy to hold thanks to its sturdy handle and the fineness of its material. Made of durable stoneware, it combines elegance and great practicality.
Its gray-blue color evokes the patina of oxidized copper, with a pleasant texture to the touch.
The subtle shades that appear during firing, where brown, blue, and white naturally blend, create unique patterns on the surface of each cup.
An ideal piece for a refined table.

Born in Mino, made for everyday use

CHIPS EXPERTISE
What makes this tableware unique
Mino, land of ceramics
The region has been producing pottery for centuries. CHIPS sources its clays and kilns there.
Getting started first
Shapes designed to fit comfortably in hand and lift effortlessly, even in large sizes.
Living glazes
Depending on the kiln and firing, the shades vary slightly from one piece to another. That’s the beauty of Mino ceramics.
The Mismatched Game
The colors are designed to blend: each table creates its own palette.
Stackable, from the cupboard to the table
Stackable mugs and bowls save space without sacrificing style.
Heritage, without the museum
CHIPS borrows from Mino traditions, like the mysterious green of Oribe, and brings them into everyday life.
