This pair of Mino-yaki 美濃焼 lidded bowls is crafted by Shōhō-gama 松峰窯, showcasing the playful color and refined simplicity often found in modern Mino tableware.
Each bowl features a rounded base with a fitted lid topped by a slender knob. The lids are decorated with a lively striped pattern in soft blue, green, coral, and muted purple, arranged in a circular rhythm around the top. The design creates a cheerful, contemporary look while maintaining the elegance of traditional Japanese ceramic forms. Subtle concentric rings at the center of the lid add visual balance and a sense of handcrafted detail.
Mino ware, produced in Gifu Prefecture, is one of Japan’s most historically significant ceramic traditions, with roots going back over 1,300 years. Today it remains known for its versatility, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern design aesthetics.
These lidded bowls are ideal for serving small dishes such as chawanmushi, simmered foods, desserts, or small rice portions, while the lids help retain warmth and enhance presentation.
