Petite and delicate, the Mino-Yaki Pinstripe Bean Bowl is made for Japanese side dishes, relishes and pickles, but we think it's too pretty for just that. Its gently fluted edges and hairline thin, blue underglaze stripes create an elegant setting for jewellery, or trinkets – whatever small item worth displaying in fine Mino-yaki porcelain.

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.
