The Shell series is attractive for its irregular shaped edge.
The Hakusan Porcelain “Shell” plate was originally designed in the early ’60s and was exhibited in MOMA in New York. We were excited to discover the 1968 MOMA catalogue at Hakusan. It is truly beautiful and we wish we could see catalogues like this today.
This is the Whirlpool design.

Hakusan Porcelain
Hakusan Porcelain Co, Ltd. was founded in 1779 in Hasami, Nagasaki Prefecture, and has existed in its current form since 1958.
The city of Hasami has a 400-year tradition of ceramic production and many companies are still active there, mainly producing teacups and teapots. The local porcelain is renowned for its translucence and whiteness. Led by designer Masahiro Mori, Hakusan has been the leading porcelain producer in post-war Japan. The company has a long history of producing high-quality porcelain products and has been awarded such honours as the “Good Design” and “Long Life Design” prizes. Hakusan porcelain exemplifies the simple elegance of Japanese design.
