Know before you buy
Mino Yaki refers to traditional Japanese pottery produced in the Gifu Prefecture. It is celebrated for its historical significance and diverse glazing techniques, representing some of the most authentic ceramic craftsmanship in Japan.
Yes, the ceramic material is durable enough for daily use in both the microwave and dishwasher. However, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the hand-painted glaze over time.
Because each bowl is crafted by hand, there will be subtle variations in the glaze texture and pattern placement. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of authentic Mino Ware and ensure that no two pieces are identical.
The small 11.5cm bowl is ideal for a standard portion of steamed rice. If you prefer larger servings or intend to use the bowl for side dishes or miso soup, the medium 12.5cm or large 14cm options provide more versatility.
The design is applied as a decorative motif under the glaze. This creates a smooth, finished surface that is comfortable to hold and easy to clean while protecting the artwork from fading.
