Description
The late Kenzo Takada was not only one of the most popular fashion designers in the world, he was also a connoisseur and collector of porcelain, both European and East Asian. But for him these were not just mere display pieces, to be put in a showcase; he put them to their intended use as tableware when entertaining guests at his luxurious apartment in Paris. This is a rare opportunity to obtain an item that had been owned and used by one of fashion's grandmasters.
