Mino-ware Yohen Gold Accent Plate
Available In Store Only
Bold yet refined, the Mino-ware Yohen Gold Accent Plate is a striking expression of Japanese ceramic artistry. Handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture, this piece belongs to the rich tradition of Mino ware (美濃焼)—a style of pottery with over 1,300 years of history, known for its adaptability, earthy tones, and experimental glazes.
The plate features a deep, kiln-altered glaze (yōhen) that gives the surface a dynamic, unpredictable finish—where flecks of charcoal, iron, and bronze seem to emerge from within the clay. Delicately hand-applied golden stripes cut through the surface with subtle brilliance, creating a balance of luxury and rustic expression.
This medium-sized plate is perfect for appetizers, plated desserts, or as a small main dish presentation. It suits both contemporary interiors and more traditional Japanese table settings, bringing a sense of crafted elegance to every meal.
About Yohen(窯変)
Yohen refers to the transformative effects of the kiln during firing, resulting in unique, unpredictable patterns and textures that make each piece one-of-a-kind. "Irabo" describes a traditional style of glaze with earthy tones and a rustic finish.
