Hasami Porcelain

Hasami Porcelain makes stackable porcelain tableware with a matte finish and simple curves. It is produced in Hasami, in Nagasaki Prefecture.

History

The town of Hasami has made porcelain for almost four centuries, since the Edo period, shipping its wares across Japan and to Europe through the port of Nagasaki. Its craftspeople developed an efficient production system that keeps quality even at a fair price.

The brand works a blend of natural stone and clay with traditional glazes to get a soft surface. Its shapes nest together, which eases serving and storage.
