Description: Vintage Pottery - Japanese Donabe Set 1930’s-1940’s Japan This is an antique Donabe set from Japan. The bowls were seldom used. The Donabe are beautiful, earthen bowls with a swirl design and characters for good fortune on the lid. I noted some chips on 2 of the serving pots (see photos) and there may be a couple more. Some crazing consistent with age and use. "Donabe" means clay pot in Japanese, and it's one of Japan's oldest cooking vessels. Originating in Japan's Iga province, the earthenware pots are made out of clay with properties ideal for operating at high temperatures, including in kilns and during high-heat cooking. This kind of clay from Iga is super porous, which means it builds heat slowly (and, similar to a slow-cooker, may take a longer time to initially heat up) but it keeps heat effectively once it's at peak temperature.
