The asymmetric sweeping curve of the Mino-yaki Flare Pasta Bowl are inspired by the shape of a swirling flared skirt. Playfully designed and made of porcelain in Toki Gifu Prefecture, its dusty blue glaze is detailed with tiny flecks. A combination of minimalism and rustic warmth, each one is unique in subtle variations of glaze.

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.
