This set brings together two small vessels, each carrying its own story and heritage, celebrating time and cultures.
The small delicate and crackled white/cream glaze cup originates from Vietnam’s Lê Period (1428–1788), an era remembered for its artistic innovation and refined craftsmanship. Alongside sits a contemporary hand-crafted plate from Onta village in Kyushu, Japan, a place known for its centuries-old pottery traditions brought from Korea. Crafted using Onta ware distinctive technique Kushikagi, the plate has a more rusty finish offering a subtle counterpoint to the Vietnamese plate soft touch. The Japanese plate’s more robust presence stands in quiet contrast to the Vietnamese cup’s refined and luminous glaze.
Together, they form a bridge across centuries and cultures, connecting the historical legacy of the Lê dynasty with the living traditions of modern-day Onta.
