This listing is for a pair of ceramic Mino-ware yunomi.  The front is decorated with plump persimmons, and each cup features denim coloured glaze with a tan base.  The interior has a smooth white glaze and the rims have been trimmed with a blue-black glaze. The exterior also has a slight texture about it, and the nice tapered shape sits very comfortably in the hand. They are a decent size and very suitable for everyday use. 

Mino-ware refers to pottery produced in what was formerly the old Mino Province, which is modern day Gifu Prefecture. Early examples of Mino-ware were predominantly ash-glazed stoneware pieces. Later however the use of the potter’s wheel, as well as a greater variety of glazes, began to characterize what is often thought to ideally represent Mino pottery today. Larger production kilns like Kozangama in Gifu Prefecture produce wares similar to Imari and Arita-ware. Various other kilns specialize in producing budget priced tableware, along with high end wares for various brand name stores and franchises around the country such as Tachikichi in Kyoto.
