Red Blossom Family-Size Donabe

This donabe features a hand-painted, pale-red floral motif on its lid, making it a fabulous centerpiece for your gatherings. A donabe is a classic, old-world way of preparing everything from hot pots and rice to stews and curry—while bringing a rural Japanese warmth to your home. This robust pot features a unique glazing method that allows the donabe to heat slowly but retain the internal temperature for extended periods afterward. The handcrafting method of molding, firing, and glazing creates a jet-black pot with a rustic look and feel. At the same time, the stunning lid features a copper-colored finish to the crown-shaped handle, a sophisticated pairing to the gentle, pale-red floral motif. The Arita region artisans who prepare this piece draw on centuries of knowledge, with the time-honored methods for creating these clay pots being passed down over hundreds of years. This donabe is compatible with direct-flame and radiant heat sources, making it convenient for modern kitchens. Please note: this donabe is not suitable for oven use.

Donabe pots require seasoning before their first use. Please refer to the care guide for detailed instructions to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
