Matsushiro Ware (松代焼) is a style of Japanese pottery originating from Matsushiro, Nagano Prefecture—a region steeped in samurai and cultural history. What sets Matsushiro ceramics apart is their mesmerizing glaze, rich in natural minerals and copper, which creates organic, flowing patterns reminiscent of mountain springs and molten earth.
Each piece is hand-thrown and kiln-fired by skilled artisans who embrace the unpredictability of glaze reactions. The result is a spontaneous landscape of blue, green, and earthy tones, with no two items ever exactly alike.
Renowned for its expressive aesthetics and durability, Matsushiro Ware has become a favorite for modern tea drinkers, collectors, and interior enthusiasts seeking something quietly bold.
