TJS is delighted to introduce Asemi, a small Japanese design firm with a very pleasing obsession: making cups properly. The Asemi Hasami Gradient Cup – Small is made and hand-glazed in Hasami, Nagasaki, an area renowned for porcelain that quietly outperforms expectations.Sized just right for espresso, short coffee, or a thoughtfully brewed tea, this premium porcelain cup feels as good as it looks. The soft gradient glaze adds gentle character, while the unglazed base reveals the remarkably smooth, tactile pleasure of raw porcelain. It never shouts for attention, but it always earns it.Designed to stack neatly with other Asemi Hasami cups, this small version sits happily alongside larger sizes, pastel editions, and special releases—proof that restraint can still be rather collectible. Beauty Meets Function Hand-glazed Japanese porcelain: Made and finished by hand in Hasami, Nagasaki, every cup has subtle variations that ensure it never feels factory-perfect or dull. Unglazed raw porcelain base: The base is always left free of glaze, so you feel the naturally smooth, dry texture of true porcelain—never slippery, never artificial. Ideal small-cup proportions: Perfect for espresso and short drinks, and designed to always stack neatly for calm cupboards and elegant displays.
