The concept of Early Bird was inspired by the famous idiom “The early bird catches the worm” — to enjoy a delightful morning just for yourself by waking up a little earlier. Each piece is decorated with blue swallows that are hand-stamped and hand-painted one by one. The swallow is said to bring good fortune, and thanks to the handwork no two pieces are exactly alike.

Its soft, rounded form with a domed lid feels like the warm aroma of tea or coffee in relaxing morning hours. With a capacity of about two mugs (450ml) and a stainless steel tea strainer included, it is perfect for enjoying a delightful morning with tea, coffee or seasonal herbal infusions.

Studio M' is the home tableware line of Marumitsu Poterie, a Japanese pottery built on one idea: meals are delightful.
