Description:
Marking ten years since the inception of HASAMI PORCELAIN, Tortoise General Store owner and HASAMI PORCELAIN designer, Takuhiro Shinomoto, unveils his latest creation: The 'Grey Collection.' Building on the modular template of his original designs, the Grey Collection's plates and bowls features a sleeker, more slender profile with a 50% reduction in material usage compared to its predecessor. Still seamlessly stackable with the original HASAMI PORCELAIN pieces, the collection appears in soothing gray tones reminiscent of concrete.
The HASAMI PORCELAIN 3.3/8'' plate is stackable with other 3.3/8'' diameter bowls, plates, and lids, and can act as a convenient top for storage, a modest trivet when placed underneath a bowl or mug, or an elegant plate for serving, displaying or eating.

Materials:
Porcelain
Variation:
No two pieces are exactly alike. Due to the organic nature of material used, there are unavoidable variations, color unevenness, and what Hasami craftspeople call "staining" in the appearance of all HASAMI PORCELAIN products. These variations are the result of uncontrollable chemical reactions between the glaze and the raw materials during the extreme firing process when producing HASAMI PORCELAIN. Differences in color and texture are not considered second quality, nor is it considered defective or avoidable amongst the Hasami craftsmen community.
Care Instructions:
Dishwasher safe and microwave safe. Not oven safe and not safe to place over a flame. When stacking your pieces, please be mindful about not using force that may cause fractures. Staining and changing of color will naturally occur over time as ceramic is a natural material that will discolor and patina. This type of aging is to be cherished, and does not mean that the piece is dirty or unsafe to use.
