About:
For the celebration of 400 years of porcelain production in Japan, the prefecture of Saga invited 16 international designers, to create 16 contemporary porcelain collections in Arita.
While researching the project’s Japanese cultural backdrop, New York-based designer Leon Ransmeier came upon the concept for ‘Perceptible Beauty.’ Focusing on Japanese utensils whose very shape and feel lets the user appreciate their inherent beauty when picked up, he adopted a design approach that would also make the modern user yearn to physically hold them. As one of Ransmeier’s coffee pots, teapots, vases or mugs sits snugly in your hand, you will soon become aware of the finely-crafted swell of the item created with high-grade moulding technology.

Size in cm: φ8,5 x H25 x W15
Color: white
Please note that porcelain is a ceramic material of the highest quality. Admired because of its translucence, it is the strongest ceramic material and is much more durable then normal ceramic.
