Mino ware

[1] The history of Japanese pottery in the Toki area appears to have started more than 1,300 years ago.

The technical merit and artistic impression reached new heights when crockery for tea ceremony had been produced there.

Daimyō feudal lords highly admired such tea vessels, bowls, pots and utensils with unique styles of oribe.

[2] With the introduction of mass production introduced in the Meiji period (1868–1912), Mino ware became widely available.

These have strong connections to tea ceremony:[4] Media related to Mino ware at Wikimedia Commons
