This two-piece set from Hirado Shozan, crafted in Nagasaki, Japan, showcases the artistry of Mikawachi ware, a porcelain tradition admired for its fine brushwork and balanced forms. The set includes a pentagonal vessel and a matching cup, both fully decorated with the Seigaiha (blue ocean wave) pattern, a timeless motif in Japanese design.
The Seigaiha pattern, composed of layered semicircles resembling waves, has been used for over a thousand years in Japan. It symbolizes peace, resilience, and the wish for a calm, unending life; qualities that make this set deeply meaningful beyond its practical function. The repetition of the waves also reflects harmony, continuity, and strength against adversity, making it a powerful and auspicious design for daily use or gifting.
The vessel’s five-sided shape (gokaku) is distinctive and rare in porcelain ware. Its slightly concave body is designed for an easy grip, combining beauty with utility. The matching cup carries the same flowing wave pattern, creating a unified, balanced look.
This set can be used for serving tea, water, or other beverages, but it also serves as a display piece, highlighting the skill of traditional Japanese porcelain artisans. Whether used at the table or kept as part of a collection, it reflects a long heritage of craftsmanship and symbolism.
Because of its unusual pentagonal form and symbolic Seigaiha decoration, it also makes a meaningful gift, suited for occasions such as housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, or personal milestones.
