Displaying the beauty of Japanese stoneware, the Shigaraki Mino-Yaki tumbler is all about tactility and texture. Its warm, earthy clay is speckled and ever-so-slightly rough to the touch. Each tumbler's base is left unglazed to showcase its raw clay, while its undulating sides of rust or natural hues are tinged with the characteristic singe marks of firing. A modern interpretation of an ancient pottery form, each tumbler is unique.

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.
