Oriental Artisan Mino Ware Cherry Blossom Bowl

The small bowl measures 12.3cm in diameter with a 310ml capacity, while the large bowl is slightly wider at 14.2cm with a 330ml capacity. The height difference is negligible, so choose based on whether you prefer a deeper, more compact vessel or a slightly wider profile.

While the ceramic is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the antique blue glaze and the delicate cherry blossom motif. High-heat dishwasher cycles can cause fading or micro-cracks over time.

No, each piece is unique. Because these are individually crafted by artisans in the Mino region, you should expect slight variations in the glaze application and texture, which is a hallmark of authentic Mino ware.

Its versatile size makes it ideal for individual servings of rice, miso soup, or small side dishes. It also works beautifully as a serving vessel for desserts like ice cream or fruit.

Mino ware is known for balancing durability with a refined feel. These bowls are sturdy enough for daily use without being overly heavy or clunky, providing a comfortable weight in the hand.
