More than a simple utensil, the saucer is a living artifact that grows with each passing year.

Gyokusendo
Gyokusendo has a history of over two hundred years. The seventh-generation successor, Tamagawa Motoyuki is currently at the helm of this prominent Tsubame-tsuiki copperware brand. They mainly produce copperware and a small amount of silverware. The brand could last for centuries is not only because of their persistence on the traditional Japanese metalworking - Tsuki copperware, but also their aspiration on developing new techniques.
