1616 / Manz Contour
Originally designed in the 1960s by Danish ceramicist Richard Manz, the Manz Collection has been thoughtfully revived by 1616 / Arita Japan. These vessels reflect a quiet harmony between Scandinavian minimalism and Japanese porcelain craftsmanship.
The Manz Tea Cup and Hojicha Cup embody Manz’s vision for everyday objects that are both functional and enduring. With their balanced forms and subtle finishes—glazed or partially unglazed—they highlight the tactile clarity and timeless elegance of Arita porcelain.
Part of 1616 / Arita Japan’s mission to reimagine traditional craft through a global lens, the Manz Collection bridges past and present with refined simplicity.
