cracked mug

Last March, when I was washing dishes, a soup cup slipped from my hand into the sink.
I found it intact.
However, my husband's mug got chipped because it was hit by the soup cup.
The mug is made of pottery.
We bought it on Ishigaki Island during our trip to Okinawa two years ago.
Please check the official store's URL.

My husband said that he didn’t mind throwing it away.
However, I asked a Kintsugi repairman to fix it.
Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese craft.
The repairman fixes and decorates cracked pottery using glue, gold powder, and silver powder.

I received the repaired mug about two months after placing the order.
Although the service fee was more expensive than the mug itself, I am satisfied that the souvenir has been restored.


三月のある日、食器を洗っている時に手を滑らせてスープカップをシンクに落としてしまいました。
スープカップは無事でしたが、スープカップがあたって夫のマグカップが欠けてしまいました。
このコップは二年前の沖縄旅行時に、石垣島で購入した陶器製のものです。

夫は捨ててもかまわないと言いましたが、私は金継ぎ業者に修復依頼しました。
金継ぎは日本の伝統技術です。
膠や金粉、銀紛を用いて欠けた食器を修復及び装飾します。

発注から約二カ月後、マグカップが返送されました。
修復費用はマグカップ本体よりも高かったものの、思い出の品が蘇って満足しています。

Last March, when I was washing dishes, a soup cupbowl slipped from my hand into the sink.

Do you mean "bowl" (碗?) ? We use "cup" or "mug" mainly for drinks.

Make sure to capitalise the first letters in a sentence. You could also capitalise all the words in a title: "Cracked Mug"

cCracked mMug Cracked Mug

Because this is a title, these should be capitalized.

The mug is made of potteryceramic. The mug is ceramic.

"Pottery" is the craft, rather than a material (the material in this case is "ceramic"). When you use "made of", you are referring to the material that the object is. "Pottery" can also refer to the things that have been crafted using pottery, so you could also say "The mug is pottery." That form sounds a little strange to me in this context, however. It's possible this is an American English difference, however! :) I see some non-American English users have approved this sentence, so please take my feedback with a grain of salt!
