Immerse yourself in the radiance of Japanese nature with our Flora Japonica Gingko porcelain mug. This exclusive collection draws its inspiration from the era when Dutch botanists introduced new species to Japan's flora, weaving a bridge between two cultures. Each cup is a tribute to Japan's extraordinary biodiversity, here embodied by the iconic Gingko Biloba, one of the oldest trees on earth. Its leaf found its place alongside other national treasures: the maple, the heart-shaped katsura, and the stately white pine.

An Ode to the Rich Tradition of Porcelain
The Flora Japonica Gingko mug pays tribute to the storied tradition of porcelain, rooted in the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Netherlands imported precious ceramics from the Orient. The famous Delft blue, born from this exchange, travelled and transformed over time, in turn inspiring Japanese artists. This mug is the embodiment of that creative dialogue between two cultures, expressed through a distinctive design that weaves together traditional Japanese motifs and European aesthetics.
Japanese Craftsmanship, Four Centuries in the Making
Made in Japan, the Flora Japonica Gingko mug is the result of 400 years of artisanal expertise. It brings together traditional production methods and modern techniques to deliver a piece of lasting quality. Weighing 278g, it feels reassuringly solid yet comfortable to hold. At 8cm in diameter and 10cm tall, it is perfectly sized for enjoying your favourite drink. Its 380ml capacity is just right for a warm cup of tea or a generous serving of coffee.
More Than a Mug: a Journey Through Time
