Mino Ware - Misty Glaze Oriole Green Round Bowl and Small Plate Set (Gift Boxed)

🌸 Japan's Largest Ceramic Producer Specializing in Exquisite Tableware—Mino Ware 🏮 Hailing from Gifu Prefecture, Japan (Toki, Tajimi, Mizunami, Kani), Mino ware is one of Japan's oldest regional kiln-fired ceramics. Its history of producing tableware dates back to the 14th century, and today, approximately 60% of Japan's domestic ceramic tableware originates from Mino, making it the nation's top producer. Mino ware is celebrated for its pure colors, delicate textures, and smooth glazes, earning it a place as highly esteemed, premium tableware in Japanese ceramic settings. In 1988, it was designated a National Traditional Craft Product. 🌿 This collection is fired with a traditional oriole green glaze, offering a tranquil and stable color palette that embodies understated Japanese beauty. "Oriole Green" (翠うぐいす) is a traditional Japanese color, inspired by the plumage of the Japanese bush warbler, a bird that heralds spring. It possesses a fresh yet steady quality, often associated with new growth and refined Japanese elegance. Beyond its exquisite glaze, the matte finish with its subtle granular texture provides a unique tactile experience. The rounded, full form of the round bowl fits comfortably in the palm, offering a gentle and pleasant feel when in use. The small plates feature subtly undulating rims and a slightly irregular, soft oval shape, lending a handmade and natural aesthetic. Whether serving various dishes or displaying small items, this set brings a subtle, elegant atmosphere to any space. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54969725634_2fc7afe6f8_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54969469456_85d0ebf2f5_w.jpg 【Product Specifications】 Dimensions: Round Bowl - Diameter 8 × Height 7cm, Capacity 300ml Small Plate - Approx. 15 × 15.3 × Height 2cm Packaging: Each item comes in a separate gift box. 【Care Instructions】 Each piece is handcrafted by artisans.
