A closer look
This is a handmade ceramic mug featuring a retro design with a black and white checkered pattern. The mug is crafted from Jingdezhen black clay and finished with a gold flower underglaze, giving it a distinctive and artisanal appearance. The overall shape is a rounded, slightly tapered body with a curved handle attached to one side, providing a comfortable grip. The dimensions are approximately 8 centimeters in diameter at the rim and 8 centimeters in height, with a capacity of about 220 milliliters.
The exterior surface is decorated with a bold checkered pattern of alternating black and white squares. The black squares have a glossy, speckled finish with fine, light-colored flecks, while the white squares appear slightly textured and matte. Small, white, five-petaled flower motifs with yellow centers are scattered across the black squares, adding a delicate contrast. The entire exterior is coated in a glossy glaze that reflects light, highlighting the handcrafted texture and minor surface irregularities, such as slight unevenness in the glaze application and subtle pinholes, which are characteristic of handmade pottery.
The handle is made from the same black clay, with a smooth, glossy finish and a comfortable, ergonomic curve. It is securely attached to the mug's body, with visible join lines that blend into the overall design. The interior of the mug is fully glazed in a deep black color, with a slightly textured surface that shows subtle variations in glaze thickness and minor imperfections, consistent with hand-thrown ceramics. The rim is rounded and smooth, with a consistent thickness around the circumference.
The base of the mug features a circular, unglazed foot ring, which is typical for handmade pottery to prevent sticking during firing. The foot ring is slightly raised and has a rough, matte texture, contrasting with the glossy glaze on the rest of the mug. The overall construction shows signs of handcrafting, including minor asymmetries and organic
