-
Each piece being handmade, slight variations in size and shape may occur.
-
The glaze used tends to run or be uneven, making each piece unique. Enjoy the lively character of the glaze on each item.
-
The clay used may cause a rough surface or edges, even small holes.
-
Black spots on the glaze or a reddish tint on the base may appear. This is due to the presence of iron powder in the kiln and iron elements in the clay, with no effect on use.
-
Some pieces may have small cracks (crazing) at purchase or develop them over time. This does not affect use.
◎ The crazing appears about a month after firing, during cooling, due to shrinkage differences between the clay and the glaze. They may be accompanied by a small sharp sound, like a "ting," which gradually fades, although the cracks continue to evolve. Enjoy this chime reminiscent of a metallophone during the first uses. -
Before use, rinse lightly with water.
After use, wash quickly with a soft sponge and dish soap, then dry well before storing.
Due to the high porosity of the material, prolonged soaking or storing food inside may cause stains, dirt, discoloration, mold, or odors.
When using in the microwave or dishwasher, avoid sudden temperature changes, as this could cause cracks.
MINO POTTERY
The Mino region is recognized as the foremost center of ceramic production in Japan. With a history of over 1,000 years, it has developed a great variety of pieces suited to the styles of each era.
Among the 15 traditional craft styles of Japan, four types – Setoguro, Kiseto, Shino, and Oribe – stand out for the balance of their colors and have become emblematic of Mino ceramics.
Continuing this tradition inherited from the time when it was affectionately nicknamed "Hyôgemono" (meaning "objects full of charm"), we offer tableware designed for daily and modern use, to be passed down to future generations.
Discover the beauty of Mino ceramics, which have accompanied Japanese tables for over 1,000 years, through the blend of ancient and contemporary techniques, clay, and glazes.
Immerse yourself in the aesthetic world of the Heuge style through this collection.
The four emblematic colors of Mino ceramics – the glossy black of Setoguro, the natural and creamy white of Shino, the deep and sober green of Oribe, and the warm yellow of Kiseto – have been passed down for a millennium.
They are ideal for enhancing the ingredients of Japanese cuisine.
