Mino Chawan
Mino ware (美濃焼, Minoyaki) is one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions, with over 1,300 years of history in Gifu Prefecture.
It is known for its variety of styles, durable clay, and unique glazes.
Each piece is handmade and kiln-fired, so no two bowls are the same.
These variations reflect the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi, which means beauty in imperfection.
- Mino chawans are designed for both beauty and use. Their wide bases make whisking easy, while their walls keep tea warm.
Today, Mino ware balances tradition and innovation, offering bowls that are both practical and deeply expressive.
Oribe Glaze
Oribe ware, one of the most famous Mino traditions, is celebrated for its innovation during the tea culture of the Momoyama period.
The glaze runs naturally during firing, creating dynamic shifts of tone and pattern across the surface. This unpredictability highlights the artistry of the potter and the spontaneity of nature.
- The Oribe bowl’s slightly irregular form adds charm, while its deep body makes it practical for whisking a fine froth. It is a piece that balances functionality with vibrant expression.

- Before first use, we suggest soaking in lukewarm water to help prevent tea stains and discoloration of the bowl.
After use, clean with dish soap, dry thoroughly, and store. Please make sure you dry properly. Due to its absorbent nature, insufficient drying can cause mold, stains, and odors.
Due to the coarse texture of the clay particles used, avoid dragging these ceramic (earthenware) products across surfaces such as tables. (Dragging may scratch the table surface.
As they are not made from fireproof clay, do not place them directly over an open flame. They are not oven-safe.
Because ceramic (earthenware) products are absorbent, do not use them in the microwave.
