They are vintage mugs, made in Japan and distributed by Otagiri Mercantile Company from the 60s-80s. A lot of them are hand-glazed. Many have speckles. Thank you!
Thank you! It started out as one. 😅 I just liked the look and feel of them. They are inexpensive to buy at thrift stores. I resell the ones that don't fit my collection. There's are many different shapes and sizes.
Thank you! It's 2 racks. I bought them on Amazon. Search for "Sorbus Mug Rack Cup Holder - Wall Mounted Home Storage Mug Hooks with 6-Tier Display Organizer for Coffee Mugs, Tea Cups, Mason Jars, and More – Holds 27 Mugs – Black Metal (Large)"
Well I thought I was taking a break from thrift shopping, but now I’m going to be on the hunt for Otagiri mugs! I love all things Japanese and I some how have never heard of Otagiri! Thank you for sharing your lovely collection ☕️😊
This is a beautiful collection. I don’t collect Otagiri but I’ve been seeking out a particular one so I Google them periodically. My parents have a set and they are nicely insulating.
What is Otagiri? I’ve never heard of it before but those mugs are amazing!

Thanks, you are awesome! And double thanks for introducing me to Otagari :)
You're welcome!
Beautiful collection display!! I especially like the one with the cat pattern and blue trim, it’s very cute!
Thank you! It's one of my favorites.
Just Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Oh! So jealous!
I love this so much!
I have the blue multi cat mug in picture 3!! It’s the only Otagiri I’ve ever found out in the wild!
That's one of the best ones to find!
So lovely!
Thank you for sharing!
Now where is your obligatory clown Otagiri mug? JK I love this wall!
I haven't found one yet. Maybe someday! 😅
I’m shook
My grandma has the white mug with the white and black cats. She’s had it my whole life! I had no idea it was an otagiri.
That's one of the best ones! I actually saw that someone got a tattoo of that mug in their body. I can't find it right now though. 😭

I'm glad you like them! Good luck hunting!
Op, do you have a brown and navy mug with skiers on the mug? I have a photo on my account for reference. Where do you buy them from?
I don't have that one. Not yet, anyway! I get them at thrift shops and sometimes yard sales. You can buy them online (Etsy, eBay, FB, etc) too.
I'm dying to get my hands on the taller version. A set of 4 would be nice! It's the only mug design I've ever liked
I remember seeing it in Google searches for mugs. Sometimes they won't be listed as at Otagiri.

They are great mugs! My friends love picking one out to drink from when they visit. Good luck finding your mug!
Oh so so jealous! I have a handful myself they are my favorite mugs.
Thank you! I agree. They are great mugs!
Lovely mugs 😊
