This rice bowl set was crafted by artisan potters in Gifu, Japan, the mountainous prefecture home to Mino ware, a 1,300-year-old ceramic style known for its organic shapes, natural glazes and wabi-sabi philosophy. The eye-catching pieces act as the perfect bowl for rice, small side dishes and miso soup. And the bowls—with high walls and swirling vine patterns—are one of a kind due to the handmade nature. When transferring from kitchen to table, you’ll feel the bowls’ subtle grooves that connect them back to small potters honing their craft in lush mountain villages. Sold in a set of two.

What is Mino Ware?
It’s a natural pottery style that traces back to 7th-century Gifu Prefecture—now considered the top ceramic-producing region in Japan. Mino ware reflects wabi-sabi techniques (embracing imperfections and transience) in its handmade designs. Traditionally used during tea ceremonies, there are more than 15 different meal setting styles today—from rice and miso soup bowls to donburi and side dish plates. The pottery was designated a “traditional craft” by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 1978.
