The Hakusan Porcelain “Shell” plate was originally designed in the early 60’s 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. The white version of the celebrated Shell Series.
