Perfect for a slice of toast or a slice of cake, the Mino-Yaki Flare Side Plate has a soft asymmetrically curved rim, playfully inspired by the floating form of a swirling flared skirt. Made in Gifu Prefecture and glazed in a soft blue hue, each is unique with subtle variations in colour and tiny rustic flecks that bring a warmth to the minimalist design.

Mino-yaki, believed to be the oldest form of artistic pottery produced in Japan, dates back to the Nara Period 710-794. Produced in the old Mino Province, in present-day Gifu Prefecture, it became popular for traditional tea ceremony vessels. Today, the styles of Mino-yaki are as varied as they are beautiful — from the warm rustic glazes of hand-thrown traditional Kiso Seto, Black Seto, Shino and Oribe ware to the soft pastels of modern tableware.
