Handmade Kiyomizu tableware set. 

Shinogi refers to a carved or ridged pattern made by shaving or cutting into the clay surface. Kiyomizuyaki craftsmen are known for their remarkable precision. Every groove is hand-carved and filled with mustard-yellow pigment, and the black stripes are carefully hand-painted for a seamless, polished look. The base is shaped for comfort, giving the bowl a beautifully balanced feel in your hands.

This elegant set adds a touch of luxury to any meal.
