Plate / Lid by Hasami Porcelain

Stackable porcelain plates, side plates or lids with natural and simple beauty, designed by Hasami Porcelain. The charm of Hasami Porcelain lies in the texture — firmer and sharper than earthenware, yet comfortable to the touch of the hands and lips. There is a distinctly gentler and more organic feel to the ware than that of regular porcelain. The matte texture and color, which are natural and unique to the material, match and complement most food and drinks. Hasami Porcelain's straight lines represent the essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics. The curves are the result of the inevitability of function and production. The rhythm and echo of the clean lines, created by stacking, enhance the harmony and beauty of the design. The size of Hasami Porcelain products are based on a fixed module. Mugs, bowls, trays all share the same diameter so they can be stacked freely, stored and transported easily. They are also multi-functional. For example, a tray can also be used as a lid. The inspiration behind the stacking mechanism, and the functionality of nesting, come from tiered boxes — traditional lacquer ware — used in Japanese cuisine.
