Minami Kiln Rice Bowl Annan Red Pattern Small | Mino Ware

Utensils that give you a sense of warmth

The rice bowl has a simple and cute look with the slowly fading painting. The size is easy to hold even for women's small hands. The smooth texture is moist and comfortable. The rich texture of the soil and the intrusions in places create a tasteful atmosphere. This is a pottery that will bring you a warm and gentle feeling and will accompany you in your daily life.

Because it's something you use every day

Not only glossy white rice, but also mixed grain rice and cooked rice look great. This is a rice bowl that you would want to choose as a companion for enjoying seasonal dishes such as chestnut rice and bean rice. It seems to be useful not only as a rice bowl, but also as a tray for holding hot pot dishes. It's also perfect for serving small side dishes for one person, such as fried tofu or boiled vegetables. Eating rice in your favorite utensils tastes even better than usual.

Things you should know before purchasing

What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 Because each piece is handmade, there are individual differences in shape, size, thickness, and pattern. [Uneven color/uneven baking] The glaze is carefully applied one by one by hand, so the glaze may not be applied evenly. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇There is a fine crack pattern called intrusion, but this is one of the characteristics of earthenware, so there is no problem in using it.
