Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is made in Japan using Mino ware, one of the country’s most well-known ceramic traditions. Produced in Gifu Prefecture for more than 1,300 years, Mino pottery is closely connected to Japanese tea culture and valued for its durability, refined glazes, and handcrafted character.

Originating in the mountainous region of Gifu Prefecture, this pottery is celebrated not only for its rich history but also for the extraordinary craftsmanship that defines each piece.
Skilled artisans shape every bowl, cup, and plate by hand, using locally sourced clay and time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The unique glazing styles—from subtle earth tones to vibrant colors—are carefully applied and fired to create intricate textures, crackle patterns, and finishes that make each item one of a kind.

FAQs
All you need to know about Japanese Mino Ware.
What is Mino ware?
Mino ware, or Minoyaki (美濃焼), refers to a traditional style of Japanese ceramics that originated in Gifu Prefecture over 1,300 years ago. It is one of Japan’s most prominent ceramic traditions and is known for its variety of styles, earthy aesthetics, and artisanal craftsmanship. Today, Mino ware accounts for the largest share of ceramic tableware production in Japan.
How is Mino ware made?
Each piece of Mino ware is handcrafted by skilled artisans using locally sourced clay. The process involves shaping the clay by hand or wheel, applying unique glazes, and firing it in kilns at high temperatures. The techniques used—such as Oribe, Shino, and Setoguro glazes—have been perfected over centuries to create the textures, colors, and finishes that define Mino ware.
What makes Mino ware different from other Japanese ceramics?
Unlike many other regional ceramics that follow a uniform aesthetic, Mino ware is known for its diversity. It encompasses over 15 officially recognized styles, ranging from rustic and natural to vibrant and contemporary. This flexibility makes Mino ware both deeply traditional and highly adaptable for modern use.
Is Mino ware safe for everyday use?
Yes, authentic Mino ware is made from food-safe materials and is generally safe for everyday dining. Most Mino ware sold today is microwave and dishwasher compatible, but because of its handcrafted nature, gentle handwashing is often recommended to preserve the glaze and texture.
Why is Mino ware valued by collectors and designers?
Collectors and interior designers appreciate Mino ware for its authenticity, heritage, and aesthetic depth. Each piece embodies the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi—beauty in imperfection—and offers a unique tactile and visual experience. The handcrafted nature of Mino ware ensures no two pieces are exactly alike, making them functional works of art.
