Artisan & Craft
The bowl in this set is crafted in Japan using traditional ceramic techniques used for matcha chawan, the bowls specifically designed for preparing and drinking matcha. These bowls are shaped to provide enough space for proper whisking while retaining heat during preparation.
The distinctive snow-capped glaze effect is created through layered glazing and high-temperature kiln firing. As the glaze melts and settles during firing, the lighter surface glaze naturally gathers over the darker clay body, producing the soft, snow-like contrast that gives the bowl its name.
Each piece is shaped, glazed, and fired individually, so slight variations in glaze flow, color, and texture naturally occur. These differences are part of the character of handmade Japanese ceramics and highlight the craftsmanship behind every bowl.
Note
Each item is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans. As a result, slight variations in color, pattern, and shape may occur compared to the product images. These subtle differences are a hallmark of authentic craftsmanship and contribute to the unique character of every piece.
Mino ware · Gifu, Japan
Mino ware: 1,300 years of ceramic innovation
Mino ware comes from the Tono region of Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's most important ceramic-producing areas. Over centuries, kilns in the region developed a remarkable range of styles, from restrained Shino and Oribe pieces tied to tea culture to everyday tableware for modern Japanese homes. Rather than being defined by a single look, Mino ware is known for that diversity. A ceramic tradition that has continued to evolve with the way people actually live and eat.
Mino ware, or Minoyaki, is the broad ceramic
tradition associated with the Mino region of
present-day Gifu Prefecture. Rather than describing
one fixed aesthetic, the name encompasses ceramics
with a wide range of forms, glazes and decorative
approaches developed across the region over more
than 1,300 years.
Why is Mino ware so diverse?
Mino developed as a large ceramic-producing region
rather than around one narrowly defined style.
Generations of potters experimented with different
clays, firing methods, shapes and glazes, creating
a tradition in which rustic tea wares, expressive
glazes and practical everyday tableware can all
belong to the same ceramic family.
What are Shino and Oribe?
Shino and Oribe are two of the best-known ceramic
traditions associated with Mino. Shino is celebrated
for its soft white glaze, subtle texture and often
understated decoration, while Oribe is known for
expressive forms and distinctive green, black and
painted surfaces. Together with Kiseto and Setoguro,
they are closely associated with the celebrated
Momoyama-period tea ceramics of the Mino region.
Where is Mino ware made?
Mino ware is produced primarily in the Tōnō area
of eastern Gifu Prefecture, including major ceramic
centres such as Tajimi, Toki and Mizunami.
The region remains one of Japan's most important
centres of ceramic and tableware production today.
