 Mottled pattern
The dark orange and beige mottle is a unique aspect of this cup. The slight difference of fire temperature and clay inclusion creates an individual expression. The hue has a warm and relaxing aura.
This streamlined rounded shape is kind of a new style in spite of the inherited traditional look. The size is perfect for a sencha-cup. This reasonably priced cup can be used casually in any moment of your life.

    A tradition of qualityProduced in the Toki, Tajimi, Mizunami, and Kani regions of Gifu prefecture with a 1300-year history, Mino ware accounts for over 50 percent of Japanese ceramics now. As “the way of tea” gained popularity about 400 years ago, craftsmen in Mino began producing artistic tea utensils. Shino (white and textured), Kizeto (yellow ocher), Oribe (green pattern over light gray base) and Setoguro (black) are representative of these crafts. Now, 15 types of Mino ware are government-recognized traditional crafts of Japan.
Nowadays, there are many manufacturers of Mino ware, with factories producing large numbers of these fine ceramics. A side variety of ceramics, including tableware, tiles, and tools are produced by inheriting the techniques of the past and being challenged to create new technologies for the future. Mino ware’s long history and high quality makes it a prime example of Japanese ceramics and an excellent addition to any collection.
