Hakusan LEAN Coffee Cup and Saucer

A special selection for our Hakusan exhibition, available exclusively at CIBI Melbourne. These pieces aren’t part of Hakusan’s current catalogue and won’t be restocked, so we’re delighted to share them with you while they’re here. Once they’re gone, they’re gone! Hakusan Porcelain Hakusan Porcelain Co, Ltd. was founded in 1779 in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, and has existed in its current form since 1958. The city of Hasami has a 400-year tradition of ceramic production and many companies are still active there, mainly producing teacups and teapots. The local porcelain is renowned for its translucence and whiteness. Led by designer Masahiro Mori, Hakusan has been the leading porcelain producer in post-war Japan. The company has a long history of producing high-quality porcelain products and has been awarded such honours as the “Good Design” and “Long Life Design” prizes. Hakusan porcelain exemplifies the simple elegance of Japanese design.
