Octagonal cup and saucer - Old pottery series - Gray
Octagonal CHIPS cup and saucer duo, Mino stoneware, gray color with a raw glaze evoking old metal tableware. Cup Φ83 × H70 mm (240 ml), saucer Φ138 × H20 mm that doubles 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 gray 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.
