Brick Red Sakura Tea Service by Makio Hasuike for Franco Pozzi

This charming Sakura tea service was created in 1967 by designer Makio Hasuike for Ceramica Franco Pozzi. With its deep brick red colour and soft square shapes, it brings a warm and modern touch to any kitchen or dining space. The cups are the highlight of the design: instead of a classic handle, an inner divider keeps the lower part cool and easy to hold, making the gesture of drinking both natural and pleasant. The set includes six cups with saucers, a teapot, creamer and sugar bowl. All elements are in excellent vintage condition, showing only light marks linked to normal use and tiny firing traces typical of handcrafted ceramics. Beautiful on a shelf, perfect for a cosy breakfast or a stylish afternoon tea, this Sakura ensemble adds a distinctive piece of 1960s Italian design to your home.
