Nanban Donabe – Green-Glazed Clay Pot

About This Piece

Handcrafted in Japan, this Nanban Donabe is a traditional Japanese hot pot (nabe) made in the Banko-yaki style—renowned for its gentle heat retention and rustic beauty. Its distinctive green glaze adds a touch of calm and balance to any dining scene.
The deep green glaze flows naturally over warm earthen clay, expressing the harmony between nature and craftsmanship.

Each piece is individually made, with subtle variations in color and texture that embody the spirit of wabi-sabi—the quiet appreciation of imperfection and authenticity.
It’s designed not just for cooking, but for connecting: the act of gathering, sharing, and enjoying slow, mindful meals.

Why We Love It

This donabe brings warmth and intention to your table—whether for a comforting winter hot pot, a simple Ichiju-sansai-style soup, or a weekend family meal.
The Banko clay distributes heat evenly, keeping food flavorful and tender, while its earthy weight adds a grounding presence to any kitchen.
Paired with our Soup Bowl Set, it becomes the centerpiece of a beautifully balanced dining ritual.
