Both pieces combine traditional Japanese motifs with elegant gold accents, creating a small but eye-catching detail for your dining table.

- Mino ware holds the largest market share in Japan, with over half of modern Japanese tableware being made from Mino pottery. Due to the large number of producers, it is more affordable compared to other Japanese brands like Arita or Kutani ware. However, it remains a high-quality, handcrafted product, made in professional kilns. Its simple and rounded design makes it perfect for everyday use. Add a touch of Japan to your table with these beautiful pieces.
- I am an authorized seller, officially approved by the manufacturer. You can purchase with confidence.
- These items are produced in small batches at a boutique pottery studio, so stock may occasionally be unavailable. If this happens, we will notify you and ask for your patience as shipping may be delayed. We can also suggest alternatives if needed.
As a temporary measure, we are covering the import duties for shipments to the U.S. due to the change in U.S. customs policy effective August 2025. Under the new rule, all exports to the U.S. are now subject to import duties (the previous de minimis exemption has been removed). To avoid confusion during this sudden change, we are handling these duties as prepaid by the seller. Therefore, prices have been adjusted upward only on eBay U.S.
For other regions such as Europe, Canada, and Australia, duties remain unpaid and will continue to be the responsibility of each buyer. Thank you for your understanding.
