Lemon Juicer

Description

Curator’s Notes

This porcelain lemon juicer was made in Hasami, a small town in Nagasaki Prefecture known as the origin of the finest porcelain in Japan and as the birthplace of Japanese ceramics. The piece displays designer Makoto Koizumi’s dedication to regional connection – each of the Kihara pieces highlight the inherent properties of Hasami porcelain. This juicer is simple to use, with a basin to collect juice and a pouring spout for ease of transfer. I like flipping it over to admire the multi-pointed star on the bottom of the piece formed by the interior of the juicer.
