-
Each piece is handmade, so 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 rough surfaces or edges, and 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 ferrous elements in the clay, with no impact on use.
-
Some pieces may have small cracks (crazing) at purchase or develop them over time. This does not affect use.
◎ Crazing appears about a month after firing, during cooling, due to shrinkage differences between the clay and glaze. It may be accompanied by a small sharp sound, like a "ting," which gradually fades, although the cracks continue to evolve. Enjoy this metallophone-like ringing during the first uses. -
Before use, rinse lightly with water.
After use, wash quickly with a soft sponge and dish soap, then dry thoroughly before storing.
Due to the material’s high porosity, 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 may cause cracks.
MINO POTTERY
The Mino region is recognized as Japan’s first ceramic production center. With a history of over 1,000 years, it has developed a wide variety of pieces suited to the styles of each era.
Among Japan’s 15 traditional craft styles, four types – Setoguro, Kiseto, Shino, and Oribe – stand out for their balanced 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, 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, thanks to the combination of ancient and contemporary techniques, clay, and glazes.
Immerse yourself in the aesthetic world of the Heuge style through this collection.
The four iconic colors of Mino ceramics – the glossy black of Setoguro, the natural and soft white of Shino, the deep and understated 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.
