This Mino ware plate fits casually into the modern dining table while honouring centuries of tea-master-favoured pottery tradition.

Created by Nakagawa in collaboration with a Mino kiln, designed for daily use of regional Japanese tableware. This piece showcases Mino ware's distinctive character, where flowing glaze and irregular shapes are appreciated as beauty. 

Available in three traditional glazes: "Kairagi" light grey with its crinkled, granular texture beloved by tea masters; "Tsuchi-hai" beige—a warm, earthy colour and texture; and "Ao-Oribe" featuring striking green developed under Furuta Oribe's guidance. 

Just over 21cm, this versatile size works well for toast in the morning, pasta at lunch, and mains in the evening. The raised rim holds sauces or liquids well.

[Before First Use]
To prevent staining and protect the fine surface cracks (crazing), we recommend performing the following preparation steps:

1. Place the ceramic item in a pot with rice rinsing water (or, plain water with a handful of uncooked rice or table spoon of flour)
2. Heat over medium-low heat until just before boiling
3. Simmer gently for about 15 minutes
4. Turn off the heat and allow to cool completely to room temperature in the liquid
5. Remove, wash thoroughly with mild detergent, and dry completely before use

This traditional "sealing" process fills the microscopic pores in the clay, helping to prevent stains and extend the life of your ceramic piece.

Color: Ao Oribe Green
