Ceramic Mug (IKEA 365+ series patterned)

The product shown is a ceramic mug from IKEA, specifically featuring a pattern often associated with their 365+ series or special collections. IKEA, the Swedish-founded multinational conglomerate, is renowned for its minimalist and functional home furnishings.

IKEA products are designed in Sweden under the philosophy of 'Democratic Design'. However, the manufacturing is outsourced to a global network of over 50 countries. Common production locations for their ceramic and stoneware collections include Thailand, China, and Romania, depending on the specific product line and batch. Ownership of the brand is managed through a complex structure involving Inter IKEA Systems B.V. and the Ingka Group, ultimately headquartered in the Netherlands for tax and structural purposes.
