Octagonal mug - Old pottery series - Brass
Octagonal CHIPS mug made of Hasami stoneware, flat rim and eight-sided base, brass color with raw glaze whose matte shade recalls old metal tableware. Size Φ90 × H90 mm, light and pleasant to hold.
CHIPS - OCTAGONAL MUG – ANCIENT POTTERY SERIES
A mug with a flat rim and an octagonal base.
The contrast between its delicate silhouette and its raw glaze, which evokes a completely different material, is the highlight of this piece.
This mug is both lightweight, pleasant to hold, and very functional for everyday use.
The brass color features a muted tone and a texture reminiscent of old metal tableware: it's hard to believe it is ceramic.
With each use, its color gradually changes due to oils and acids, making this mug a living object that transforms over time.
The color variations that appear with use are part of the enjoyment.
Additionally, dishes or drinks served with it are beautifully enhanced by this deep and subtle tone.
THE ANCIENT POTTERY SERIES
Old or artisanal tableware often fascinates, but it can be expensive, and many hesitate to actually use it... In the end, this admiration often remains theoretical.
The ancient pottery series captures the subtle details of old or artisanal pieces while being made of sturdy stoneware: a very practical ceramic suited for modern daily life.
This product was designed in collaboration with potters from Mino, using the region’s materials and techniques, with the aim of making refinement more accessible.

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.
