Japanese Dessert Bowl / Tea Cup - Set of 5 / Mino Ware 碗揃え 美濃焼き

This set of 5 Japanese tea cup/ small bowls is great for soup, tea, side dishes and other hot or cold drinks. The rim of each bowl is not flat, which shows the touches of handwork from the potter's wheel. They are made in Gifu Prefecture which is an area in Japan specialising in mino ware. 

Japanese people love asymmetry and the number 5. 

Five are the most well-entertained for the host in traditional home gatherings, especially tea ceremonies. They have specific seating arrangements for the ceremonies.

Also, to appeal to a broad, general audience, such as families with more than one kid, ancient Japanese pottery kiln started to use five as a set for tableware sale. They continue to use this tradition now. 

This tea cup set is great for everyday use and for gifting in this season. 

As every piece has its handmade feature, slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product.
