HASAMI PORCELAIN MUG $16.00-$20.00 Hasami Porcelain is characterized by simple, clean lines and an aesthetic that is both highly modern and deeply seeded in Japanese pottery tradition. The company creates products on a fixed module, meaning that diameters are shared across the line, making them easy to be stacked and transported. The result of the stacking and interchangeability of the products is not only highly functional, but is also aesthetically pleasing— the even stacks provide a sense of calm and serenity to a cupboard of counter space. Crafted from Hasami’s custom blend of porcelain and clay, this mug is softer to the touch than traditional porcelain, ensuring a positive tactile experience when delivering a mug of coffee, or enjoying a cup of tea. With a lovely matte finish, this mug is beautiful enough to serve to a distinguished guest, and simple enough to use every day.

Designed in 1936, the Lyngby Vase is one of the most emblematic pieces of Danish porcelain. The vase is so popular that very few original productions remain for sale—most are treasured heirlooms that are passed from generation to generation. The new production maintains the popularity of the original design, largely due to the care and thoughtful attention to the original model in the reproduction. When it premiered in the thirties, the Lyngby Vase was so different from classic porcelain, that it truly stood out and redefined the possibilities of the material. With its distinct shape and modern look, the vase was a sophisticated, new departure from tradition. The vase was reissued in 2011 as an extension of the Lyngby legacy.

Porcelain Sugar Bowl by Hasami "I have more sugar bowls than I care to admit," Stubbs says. "I drink my tea and coffee with sugar, so I always want to have a sugar bowl out, right next to the kettle. This is a really nice departure from the old-fashioned sugar bowls that I’ve been using for years."

Despite facing the street, the master bathroom contains a delightful surprise: a private outdoor shower with a green wall.

“I wanted the bathtub and shower to be at the foot of the terrace, so one could look out and feel the connection to the site,” Coleman said. “French roast,” an unglazed porcelain tile by American Olean, covers the shower.

'Prospect' Porcelain Plates by Jeremy Hatch “The porcelain here is so finely detailed, you would think it’s styrofoam. You may not be able to see it in the photo, but there is a fine layer of gold particles, which play on the prospecting idea, a in, you could take apart the plate to find the gold.” -- Julie Nicholson

Kaiser's red cups are a study in contrasts between fluid bodies and textured bases, glossy and matte surfaces. The porcelain vessels were dipped in red slip and fired, changing in color to mottled pink. The interiors are glazed with glossy blue. His Kangen oribe cups employ the same oribe copper glaze, but each one reacts differently with colored engobes to produce very different shades, "especially when fired in strong reduction."

Masters of color, Ingvild and Sidsel Forr Hemma mix many of their own colors by hand. When they blend the tints into the liquid porcelain, they tend to take on softer, milkier tones.
