Oriental Artisan Mino Ware Bowls

While these bowls are crafted from durable ceramic, we recommend hand washing to preserve the intricate detailing of the court-dyed pattern. They are generally microwave safe for short durations, but avoid extreme temperature changes to prevent thermal shock.

Each bowl is designed as a versatile serving vessel, typically holding about 8 to 10 ounces. They are perfectly sized for individual portions of rice, miso soup, or small side dishes.

The octagonal silhouette is designed for both aesthetics and stability. They stack securely and are easy to clean, as the interior remains a standard, smooth bowl shape that doesn't trap food in corners.

Yes, the included wooden box is designed specifically for protecting the ceramic glaze and preventing chips during storage. It is a traditional Japanese presentation box that keeps the set organized and safe when not in use.

Because these pieces are handcrafted in Mino Province, there will be subtle variations in the application of the brocade pattern. This slight individuality is a hallmark of authentic Mino ware and ensures that each bowl in your set is unique.
