KUMI Milk Jug, Wabi-Sabi Stoneware, by blomus

KUMI Milk Jug, Wabi-Sabi Stoneware, by blomus — A tall 9.8 oz stoneware creamer with a pouring lip and a reactive glaze.

Part of KUMI, the Japanese-inspired, reactive-glazed stoneware collection from the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

More flask than jug, the KUMI creamer narrows toward the top and ends in a small spout. KUMI is a studio blomus design, created by the brand’s own team in Sundern.

KUMI is blomus looking east. The forms are Japanese in origin and the surface comes from reactive glazing, a process that never repeats itself: the glaze reacts to oxygen in the kiln and settles into its own pattern of flecks and shading on every piece. According to blomus, the name is a Japanese word for eternal beauty. Two natural colors, dark-brown Espresso and mushroom-toned Fungi, are made to sit side by side.

Why You’ll Love It

It is a good-looking way to put milk on the table. The slim shape is easy to grip. Beside the sugar bowl it completes the tea tray, and empty it makes a charming bud vase.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Dots, flecks and uneven tones come from the reactive glaze and differ on every piece; blomus notes that KUMI gains character with use over time. Pairs well with the sugar pot, cappuccino duo, teapot.

Why We Love It

No two pieces match exactly, and that is the point: KUMI brings wabi-sabi calm to an everyday table. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
