Oribe ware originates from the late 16th century in the Mino region of Gifu Prefecture, named after the tea master Furuta Oribe
Made of mogusa white clay; designs are painted with iron glaze
The signature green colour is achieved through oxidation firing of a glaze containing copper
The chrysanthemum, a perennial plant that blooms in autumn, is one of the Shinkushi (Four “Noble” Plants) in Chinese art
