Ancient pottery octagonal mug cup brass

A mug with a flat mouth and an octagonal bottom.

The key point is the mismatch between the delicate form and the rough glaze that looks like a different material. This mug is lightweight, easy to hold, and highly practical. The brass color has a subdued color and texture reminiscent of antique metal tableware, and it is hard to believe that it is pottery. Each time it is used, the color of the vessel changes little by little due to oil and acid, making it a vessel that truly grows. The color changes over time are also enjoyable. The color of the food and dishes that are paired with it stand out.
