*SHIPPING OPTIONS VARY DEPENDING ON THE DESTINATION, PLEASE SCROLL TO THE END OF THIS LISTING FOR MORE DETAILS. This listing is for a SMALL one-person Mino-ware nabe pot. It was made at a production kiln and is coated in mustard coloured glaze over a stoneware base. The lid features a tobikanna pattern of white lines and there are two small handles on the side. This particular pot has a very small capacity (approx. 400ml), only enough for one person and one very light meal. It is possible to use it for stewing something like tofu with ginger and serving it as a side dish for two people. It also comes with a spare lid in case you break one. 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.
