Hasami Becher Glanz Grau Klein

The gloss grey finish has this subtle sheen that catches the light nicely without being too shiny. It's smaller than my other mugs, but that's exactly what I wanted for a quick afternoon tea. The texture feels handmade, not factory-perfect, which I really like.

The porcelain-clay mix gives it a lovely weight in the hand, heavier than my old thin-walled cups but in a good way. Small size is perfect for a single espresso or a concentrated pour-over, and the gloss grey glaze wipes clean with just a rinse.

The matte-ish grey glaze has this subtle speckled texture that makes each mug feel a little different. It's heavier in the hand than I expected from a small cup, which I actually like for hot tea.
