🕰️ History & Origin

Takahashi of San Francisco was a renowned Japanese-American design firm known for importing and producing high-quality ceramics during the 1960s–80s. Their stoneware often featured nature-inspired motifs with handmade appeal. This wildflower pattern is a quintessential Takahashi look—balanced, colorful, and durable. The company worked with Japanese potteries to create items that appealed to both American practicality and Japanese craftsmanship. These mugs reflect a time when form met function in earthy, soulful ways.
