The Ichendorf Cha No Yu saucer, created by Denis Guidone, celebrates the meeting point between functionality and contemplation. Designed as part of a larger ritual of balance, this handmade Japanese tea saucer reflects a minimalist approach to beauty where each curve, each transparency, is intentional. Made of borosilicate glass and carefully handmade and lampworked, it captures light with exceptional clarity, transforming a simple accessory into an expression of mindful elegance.

The art of simplicity and precision

In every designer Italian tea plate lies the essence of the Cha No Yu philosophy: an appreciation for small gestures and quiet refinement. The piece’s smooth surface and perfect geometry speak of artisanal mastery: its form echoes still water, while its transparency invites calm reflection. Designed for alimentary use and dishwasher safe at low temperatures (40 °C/104 °F recommended), this premium handmade glass saucer offers both resilience and delicacy, a union that defines Ichendorf’s craftsmanship.

A subtle complement to the tea ritual

This saucer is designed to accompany the Ichendorf cups and mugs collection, completing the refined silhouette of the Ichendorf Cha no Yu tea cup. It also complements well with Ichendorf bottles, Ichendorf's jugs and pitchers and Ichendorf vases allowing endless aesthetic combinations across the table and room. Whether part of an elegant Japanese-inspired set or paired with modern glassware, it enhances the serenity and precision of any serving ritual.

Design that transcends function

Much more than a dish, the collectible cha no yu accessory embodies a philosophy of design where emptiness has meaning and stillness has beauty. Its lightweight yet durable construction makes it ideal for daily use while maintaining the dignity of a ceremonial object. This zen inspired glassware from Denis Guidone x Ichendorf invites touch, reflection, and quiet admiration. With its timeless minimalism, the Ichendorf Cha No Yu saucer turns a tea moment into an intimate dialogue between light, material, and soul: a testament to the art of living through design.
