Hasami Porcelain Mug - Gloss

Hasami Porcelain

The Hasami Porcelain line is designed by Takuhiro Shinomoto, whose pieces embody a "tortoise lifestyle" - slow, steady, and long-lasting. The entire Hasami collection is modular by design; mugs, plates, bowls, and planters share the same diameter, allowing for easy stacking for storage or display. (Inspiration for this convenient feature came from the tiered boxes used in Japanese cuisine, now repurposed for modern living.) Each piece is molded by hand from a unique clay mixture in Hasami, Nagasaki, where ceramics have been celebrated as art for the past 400 years. Items in the Hasami porcelain collection have been awarded the Good Design accolade.

Experience a Minimalist Design With Our Japanese Porcelain Mug

The Hasami mug embodies the simple pleasures in life. Paired with a soothing tea or bold coffee blend, this cup becomes the gateway to productive mornings and restful evenings. 

Hasami mug designs are stylish, functional, timeless, and worthy of recognition Contrary to its minimalist design features, this piece is anything but basic. Each Hasami Porcelain mug is the result of centuries of ceramic innovation. From the hands and hearts of local pottery masters in Japan, this mug is a tribute to purposeful beauty, durability, and nature-inspired artistry that reminds us to appreciate the simple things in life.

Handcrafted for your home, each porcelain work of art from Hasami is: 

• A bold addition to any modern, transitional, or alternative style: At Rikumo, we love minimalism because it complements a diversity of interior trends. The subtle characteristics can be used to create a synergy with modern elements, or for vivid contrast, pair our dark or natural Hasami mug with vivid whites or another opposing tone for a burst of creativity. 
• Designed to last a lifetime: Inherent quality is the standard with every Hasami mug. Each coffee cup is carefully molded, dried, fired, and finished with time-tested techniques resulting in durability, stain resistance, and set consistency. 
• Curated for perfection: The final pieces only make it into our collection if they have been carefully evaluated for excellence. Even though many of our handcrafted pieces feature slight variations due to hand molding practices, these perfect imperfections add untold value to each piece. 

One sip from this Japanese work of excellence and you will immediately discover why Hasami coffee cups are a top contender in the world of high-end porcelain. From the pleasant surface texture to the smooth and subtle lip design, each feature inspires a deeper appreciation for the methodical process of clay craftsmanship.

How To Care & Maintain For Your Porcelain Mug

To preserve the elegance and structure of your porcelain, follow these simple guidelines and enjoy your luxurious mugs for a lifetime: 

• Hand wash your mugs to avoid chipping and surface damage that can occur in the dishwasher. Use warm water, a mild detergent, and the soft side of a sponge; avoid scouring pads and the abrasive side of the sponge to prevent scratching. 
• Protect your mug from extreme temperature fluctuations to avoid cracking and shattering. Sudden temperature changes can cause thermal shock and break the porcelain.
• Handle and store with care. Despite the superior durability of Hasami porcelain, even these sturdy mugs will break if dropped or handled aggressively! Practice mindfulness when using your mug, and if stacking with other cups or plates, be sure to place a pad or cloth between each item to defend against surface impacts and scratches.
