Vintage item, never used. A charming set of Mino-yaki 美濃焼 octagonal small bowls, decorated with delicate maple leaf motifs. Their elegant eight-sided shape gives them a refined Japanese tableware style, while the warm red grid lines and soft cream glaze create a graceful seasonal atmosphere.
Each bowl is decorated with small momiji 紅葉 / maple leaves, a beloved autumn motif in Japanese art. The red and green leaves are paired with tiny falling petal-like details, giving the design a gentle sense of movement, like leaves drifting in the autumn breeze. The red outlines emphasize the geometric octagonal form and add a festive, refined touch.
These bowls are versatile and can be used for many purposes, such as serving dessert, small side dishes, pickles, nuts, or appetizers. Their compact size also makes them lovely for Japanese-style table settings, tea time, or seasonal display.
Mino-yaki is one of Japan’s most well-known ceramic traditions, produced in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture. It is admired for its wide variety of styles, practical beauty, and long history in Japanese daily tableware.
