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 and is dishwasher-safe, making it convenient for modern kitchens. Please note: this donabe is not suitable for oven use.
