Solid ash tray from Hasami Porcelain, can also be used as a wooden plate or as a lid for large bowls. Not suitable for hot dishes.

The charm of Hasami Porcelain lies in its pleasantly soft feel, it feels more organic than traditional porcelain. The matt surface radiates calm and naturalness and harmonises wonderfully with food and drinks.

Hasami Porcelain's clean lines represent the essence of modern Japanese aesthetics, based on the fusion of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. The coordinated shapes, sizes and colour tones emphasise the beauty and harmony of this collection.

The modular design of Hasami Porcelain is based on the stacking principle of traditional Japanese lacquer jars (Jubako). All the porcelain pieces can be stacked and used multifunctionally. For example, the plates can be used as coasters, lids or trays. This enables efficient storage in limited spaces.

Each tray is unique, which means that there may be slight deviations from the variant shown here.

STORY

The historic town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture is one of the most important pottery districts in Japan. Hasami began producing porcelain wares almost 400 years ago during the Edo period, which were distributed throughout Japan and even Europe via the port of Nagasaki. Hasami's artisans were able to develop a highly efficient system for mass producing their porcelain products, which enabled them to achieve consistent quality and a favourable price. HASAMI PORCELAIN was designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto of Tortoise in Venice, CA, whose vision was to combine modern dinnerware design with the organic quality of traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques.
