AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A distinguished set of five Japanese Mino ware (美濃焼) sake cups, each individually crafted with different glazes and firing effects, presented with an original signed wooden storage box (tomobako). The cups display a rich variety of tones, including earthy browns, deep greens, speckled light glazes, and warm reddish hues—characteristic of the diverse styles developed in the Mino region. The wooden box features handwritten Japanese calligraphy and a red seal, signifying authenticity and traditional presentation. This set beautifully represents the wabi-sabi aesthetic and the long-standing ceramic heritage of Mino ware, suitable for practical use, display, or collection.

Diameter: approximately 6 cm

Artist profile:
Mino ware (美濃焼) originates from the Mino region in present-day Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and has a history spanning over 1,300 years. It is renowned for its wide stylistic diversity, including Shino, Oribe, Kiseto, and Setoguro traditions. Rather than being tied to a single artist, Mino ware emphasizes kiln techniques, glaze experimentation, and natural firing effects, making each piece subtly unique.
