Hasami Porcelain is a stackable, modular ceramics line made in Hasami, Japan, but designed in Venice Beach, California by Tortoise General Store owner, Taku Shinomoto in 2010.  Hasami Porcelain's plate/lid is made from a porcelain clay mixture and is stackable with other pieces within the line. Great for using with the tumbler or mugs to keep teas and coffee warm. Also great as a soap dish for round soap balls.  

Size: 3 3/8" x 7/8"

Due to the organic nature of this type of porcelainware, 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.

Hasami Porcelain is dishwasher safe and durable, but not chip-proof or break-proof.  If there is a contact or impact, this piece may chip or crack.  When you stack your pieces, please be mindful of not crashing pieces together to cause fractures.  

Staining and changing of color will naturally occur over time as ceramic is a natural material.  This type of aging and patina is to be cherished, and does not mean that the piece is dirty or unsafe.
