The Valuable Mug You Don't Want To Overlook When Thrifting
By Michelle Roberts-Garcia
Next time you visit a secondhand store, keep an eye out for Otagiri mugs. They are made of great quality materials and offer a truly unique and vintage look.
These ceramic and stoneware pieces are notable for their speckled finish. Their vintage look matches everything from farmhouse and shabby chic to industrial and modern designs.
The simple stoneware pieces usually feature hand-painted scenes or designs, some of which trace back almost 50 years. The handle and rim are often separate colors.
If you find one with the trademark diamond-shaped gold sticker with the letters OMC, it is an original. These aren't made anymore, making them a rare, valuable find.
