Shino ware, first made in Japan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period, features a thick white feldspar glaze with iron-based painted patterns. Its unique texture, called “yuzu-hada” or “kairagi” and thin-glaze crimson highlights add depth.

During the rise of Chinese white porcelain and blue-and-white underglaze pottery, Shino ware emerged as Japan's inaugural white ceramic, developed exclusively by the Mino kilns. It is distinguished by a thick, soft white glaze composed of finely crushed feldspar, applied with abundance. A hallmark of Shino ware is the signature reddish “crimson fire color,” appearing where the glaze thins and the clay’s iron content undergoes oxidation.

The plate's surface displays a pattern in white glaze that seems suspended just below the glaze layer. Its rim and the pinholes show a burnt brown coloration, which gives the texture a gentle gray shade. This work exemplifies the unique warmth typical of Shino ware.
