Mino Ware Leaf-shaped Large Plate Approximately 2523cm Shin-ka Glaze Made Japan 508-17

Country of Production: Japan. Mino ware refers to ceramics produced in the region spanning Toki City, Tajimi City, Mizunami City, and Kani City in Gifu Prefecture. Modern Mino ware has a wide variety of styles, including traditional Oribe, Shino, and Kizeto, as well as actively produced ceramics in various colors and shapes. Even with the same glaze, the color of the finished product can vary depending on the position in the kiln and the condition of the flames. The glaze and clay can also affect the color intensity and cause drips. The raw material clay contains iron powder, which may result in small black spots appearing on the surface after firing, particularly in red and black clays. The technique of cracks appearing on the glazed surface is due to the difference in shrinkage rates between the body and glaze during firing. Unlike cracks caused by damage, this is not a problem.
