Hakusan Porcelain Fancy Cup

The Work: Designed by Japan's most famous porcelain designer, Masahiro Mori, the Fancy Cup was originally marketed as a high-end design item at its release in 1969. The beauty of its thin and light porcelain body, its smoothness and gloss, and its unique form have made it a classic example of playful design. Ideal for cold drinks because of its thin porcelain, it can also be used as a vase or a design object. The line boasts six different patterns because Mori originally intended these cups to be enjoyed by the blind. Each cup has a different tactile feel in the hand, making it so the visually-impaired can still enjoy the beauty of their cup by feeling its unique surfaces in their hands. 4.1/2" H x 2.75'' D 11 oz Dishwasher and microwave safe.
