Iga Matte Oval Dipping Plate

Iga ware, a style of pottery that developed around the cities in Mie Prefecture. It has a long history of more than 1,300 years, and is known for its burnt exterior and stunning green "bidoro" glaze, which is caused by ash sticking to the pottery during a high-temperature firing. While this style of pottery originally served to make tea utensils, it grew to produce pots, rice bowls, teacups, and other everyday items used and loved by many. Iga ware has been designated a traditional Japanese craft by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.
