Hasami Porcelain™ from Japan combines modern forms, traditional craftsmanship, and materials whose production and natural origins are recognizable and tangible. The simple elements in uniform diameters and heights allow for a wide range of uses.
Hasami Porcelain™ was designed in 2012 by Takuhiro Shinomoto, who originated in Japan and now lives in Los Angeles.

Cups, mugs, jugs, plates, and bowls: Hasami Porcelain is a modular tableware set made up of cylindrical elements. The plates can also be used as lids for the bowls or as coasters. All elements have diameters of 8.5, 14.5, 22, or 25.5 cm. The heights are 2.1 cm (plates), 5.5 and 7.2 cm (bowls and cups), and 8.9 and 10.6 cm (mugs and jugs) – making the Hasami tableware pieces combinable and stackable.

Hasami Porcelain derives its vibrancy and warmth from the material used – sand-colored ceramic, which always varies slightly, shimmering between light brown, beige, and gray. The unglazed version has a somewhat rough surface. The earthy, coarse, almost archaic texture is created during the production process by the slightly different composition of various clay minerals.
The hasami is also available in a light gray glossy glaze or in matte black, with the rim and underside left unglazed. The ash wood lids provide a beautiful material contrast.

Hasami Porcelain is dishwasher safe and microwaveable. However, it is not oven-safe.
The ash wood elements can be used as lids or trays, do not tolerate prolonged moisture, and should only be wiped down for cleaning.
