Hasami Porcelain is a collection of pieces that strive to mix and match in function. Made to be stacked, their pieces are stored and carried easily. The materials are unique- made of a mixture of porcelain substance and clay, at a specific ratio that creates a texture that is firmer and sharper than earthenware, yet comfortable to the touch of the hands and lips. Each piece is kiln-fired without glaze, leaving the surface feeling similar to terracotta. Use the bowls and plates as is, or pair them together to form a handsome covered bowl. The larger pieces may also be used as serving trays/dishes or as fruit bowls. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
