Title: set of 6 Vintage/Modern Mino Ware Japanese Ceramic Rice Bowl – Glossy Turkish Blue with Crackle Glaze
Description:
This is a gorgeous, matching set of six (6) authentic Japanese Mino ware (Mino-yaki) ceramic rice bowls, handcrafted by traditional artisans in the Gifu prefecture of Japan.
Each bowl features a stunning, vibrant \"Turkish Blue\" glossy glaze that beautifully shifts gradients, pooling into a deep ocean blue at the center. The interiors showcase a beautiful, intricate kannyu (crackle glaze) finish that adds striking visual depth. The top edges are framed with a classic dark iron-brown underglaze rim, providing an elegant, rustic contrast to the bright turquoise body.
Perfect for serving rice, miso soup, side dishes, tapas, or ice cream, these bowls bring an artistic, serene aesthetic to any dining table.
Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. Very clean with a glossy finish. There are no utensil scratches, chips, or cracks.
(Note: The fine web-like lines visible in the glossy turquoise interior are part of the traditional \"kannyu\" crackle glaze design technique and are completely intentional. Because these are handcrafted ceramic products, slight natural variations in the depth of the blue color and rim shading are authentic characteristics of the firing process.)
Approximately 4.5” diameter and 2.5” highNOTE: Each item has cracking. In ceramics, this effect is known as crazing or a crackle glaze. It happens intentionally when the glaze layer shrinks slightly more than the underlying clay body during the cooling process in the kiln. It is considered a beautiful, deliberate design characteristic rather than a manufacturing flaw.
