I am a Silver Blue Lined Teacup and Saucer. They say look for the silver lining, but I look for the blue lining.

Curator's Notes

With its pretty floral shape and surprising interior, this sliver blue lined teacup with saucer from Masanobu Ando is a precious reminder of spring. The exterior surface of the porcelain is glazed in real silver that stands in contrast to the rugged nature of this handcrafted set. The play of contrasts is further emphasized by the faint blue tint left exposed in the interior of the cup. Reminiscent of pale robin's egg blue, the delicate pop of color adds a gentle warmth to savor with every sip.

Silver Blue Lined Teacup And Saucer

Type

I am a Chrysanthemum Teacup. Life is the flower for which love is the tea.

Curator's Notes

When I first saw these cups I personally purchased them not for use, but because I fell in love with the 'sugar white' glaze, as Masanobu Ando calls it. The white is slightly granular, so it doesn’t have a flat matte look to it. It also feels better in your hands when drinking something as comforting as tea. Honestly, I didn’t even know how to drink Chinese or Japanese tea when I acquired them years ago, but after learning how to prepare tea properly, I began to realize how much an appropriately proportioned teacup adds to the experience.

Ming Dragon Black Coffee/tea Saucer

If you take a closer look at the functions and roles of "things" that are useful to people, there are natural shapes that emerge. They have a universal shape that harmonizes with any space: timeless. neutral, lean, and familiar as if it's been around for a long time.
Many of the things that have been shared by people for generations and have been used for granted have that form. The tableware called "Common" was created with that aim. As a tool for everyday life, suitable for many people to use in various places for years and decades.

Since its launch in 2014, it has been sold not only for home use but also for business use such as restaurants and cafes. It's tableware that's easy to use and never compromises on quality and price.
The designers of "Common" spent a great deal of time and effort to create their shapes and meticulously examined them. All "Common" items are made by the hands of skilled people in a reliable Japanese factory.
