Hasami Porcelain is a stackable, modular ceramics line made in the historic town of Hasami, located in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan. For over 400 years, the proprietary mixture of crushed stone from Amakusa used in this clay and porcelain mixture has created some of the most beautiful pottery in the world, pieces cherished for their individuality.
Hasami Porcelain’s medium natural mug is made from a porcelain clay mixture and is stackable with other 8.5 cm diameter pieces within the line.
The charm of this line lies in the soft and comfortable texture that is carefully shaped with modern lines and pleasant aesthetics. There is a distinct natural feed to its wares compared to that of traditional porcelain. The matte finish of the porcelain adds the organic touch that serves as a complement to food and beverages. Using traditional glazing techniques with a proprietary blend of natural stone and clay materials, the outer texture is a result of many years of development to bring out the very best of these raw natural resources.
Hasami Porcelain masters both multifunctionality and practicality in its design. Many of the products are versatile in function such as the lids, which can also be used as trays or as plates. The shapes and sizes of all mugs, bowls, lids, and accessories are designed in precision to be made stackable for ease of serving foods and for efficient storage. The inspiration for this stacking concept came from traditional Japanese lacquered tiered boxes or Jubako. Like the Jubako, Hasami Porcelain can be used for serving foods individually, as a set, as well as for both indoor or outdoor settings.

Staining and changing of color will naturally occur over time as ceramic is a natural material. This type of aging and patina is to be cherished and does not mean that the piece is dirty or unsafe.
