vintage japanese ceramic dish

Featuring a distinct grey glaze and rustic charm, this Nezumi Shino ceramic blends tradition and modern aesthetics. Perfect for food serving or display.

Nezumi-shino is a type of Shino, a representative style of Mino ware. After the moulded vessel is coated with an iron-rich clay slip called oni-ita, the patterned areas are scraped off and fired with a choseki-yu, or feldspar glaze. The name “Nezumi”-Shino comes from the fact that the part of the vessel where the oni-ita remains is grey-coloured like a mouse, or nezumi in Japanese.

This elegant ceramic is housed in a beautiful Tomobako (wooden display box).
