Octagonal cup and saucer - Old pottery series - Gray
Octagonal CHIPS cup and saucer duo, Hasami stoneware, gray color with a raw glaze evoking old metal tableware. Size Φ138 × H20 mm, lightweight set with the saucer doubling as a small plate.
CHIPS - OCTAGONAL CUP AND SAUCER – ANCIENT POTTERY SERIES
The cup features a flat rim and an octagonal base, while the saucer has a curved eight-sided edge.
The contrast between the delicate shape and the raw glaze, which almost resembles a different material, is the highlight of this piece.
The set is lightweight, easy to hold, and the saucer can also be used as a small plate, making it a very practical duo.
The brass color offers a matte shade and a texture reminiscent of old metal cutlery: it’s hard to believe it’s ceramic.
With each use, the color gradually changes due to oils and acids, making this piece a true "living object" that develops a patina over time.
It’s a shade you enjoy watching evolve over the years.
Another advantage: it enhances the colors of the foods and ingredients you serve on it.
THE ANCIENT POTTERY SERIES
Ancient or artisanal tableware often fascinates, but it can be expensive, and many hesitate to actually use it... In the end, this admiration often remains theoretical.
The ancient pottery series captures the subtle details of old or artisanal pieces while being made of sturdy stoneware: a very practical ceramic suited for modern daily use.
This product was designed in collaboration with potters from Mino, using the region’s materials and techniques, with the aim of making refinement more accessible.
This tableware could well be your first step toward a long-held dream.

Born in Mino, made for everyday use

CHIPS EXPERTISE
What makes this tableware unique
Mino, land of ceramics
The region has been producing pottery for centuries. CHIPS sources its clays and kilns there.
Getting started first
Shapes designed to fit comfortably in hand and lift effortlessly, even in large sizes.
Living glazes
Depending on the kiln and firing, the shades vary slightly from one piece to another. That’s the beauty of Mino ceramics.
The Mismatched Game
The colors are designed to blend: each table creates its own palette.
Stackable, from the cupboard to the table
Stackable mugs and bowls save space without sacrificing style.
Heritage, without the museum
CHIPS borrows from Mino traditions, like the mysterious green of Oribe, and brings them into everyday life.
