Know before you buy
While these bowls are crafted from durable, high-quality ceramic, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the intricate patterns and colors. Due to the artisanal nature of Mino Ware, it is best to avoid the microwave to prevent potential thermal shock to the glaze.
These bowls are designed as versatile serving pieces, typically sized for individual portions of rice, side dishes, or small appetizers. Their octagonal shape provides a unique aesthetic while maintaining a functional depth for everyday dining.
Yes, the included traditional wooden box is designed for both elegant gifting and secure storage. It helps protect the ceramic edges from chipping when the bowls are not in use.
Because each piece is handcrafted in the Mino Province, there may be slight variations in the pattern application and color saturation. These subtle differences are a hallmark of authentic Mino Ware and add to the unique character of each bowl.
The octagonal design provides a comfortable grip and a stable base on the table. While they stack neatly, the geometric edges mean they occupy a slightly different footprint than standard round bowls, so ensure you have adequate cabinet space.
