Japanese Ceramic Dish Set – Mino Ware Akae Red Butterfly

Japanese Ceramic Dish Set – Mino Ware Akae Red Butterfly

Bring the festive spirit of traditional Japanese pottery to your table. This Mino Ware collection features the Akae (赤絵) technique — a centuries-old method of vivid red overglaze painting — brought to life through hand-painted flowers, butterflies, and playful rabbit motifs in rich red and green tones.

Two Iconic Pieces

• Akae Red Blossom Square Plate — A gently curved square form with floral and butterfly motifs, accented with a charming rabbit at the center. Ideal for appetizers, side dishes, or desserts.
• Akae Red Blossom Three-Legged Bowl — A distinctive three-legged round bowl with depth and presence. Perfect for soups, salads, or hearty dishes. The three-legged base nods to classical Japanese tableware tradition.

Akae Craftsmanship

Each piece is individually hand-painted using the Akae overglaze technique, refined over centuries in the Mino ceramic region of Gifu Prefecture. Irregular shapes and rustic textures add an authentic wabi-sabi charm — no two pieces are exactly alike.
