Size: 22.5cm, Height: 4cm ※※※※ ※※※※※※※※ Matsumura Hard Porcelain was established in Nagoya in 1902 (Meiji 35) by Yajiro Matsumura. It is said to be the first manufacturer in Japan to produce Western-style tableware based on British hard porcelain. Sori Yanagi, a leading industrial designer in post-war Japan, created simple white pottery at Matsumura Hard Porcelain in 1948 at the age of 33, which was highly praised. Initially, the plain white cups were said to be semi-finished products and were not stocked in department stores, but a coffee shop in Ginza adopted them. There is an anecdote that they quickly became popular. Later, in 1990, some of these series were reproduced by Nikko as the "Bone China Series," and Sori Yanagi's designs have been widely inherited as the core of Japanese tableware to this day. Recommended for those who understand the value of old and precious items. Antique Vintage JAPAN BORO Antiques Crafts Old tools Rare item
