Document source description
Mino or Seto ware. The Seto and Mino regions became centers for the production of unglazed utilitarian wares. Potters drew inspiration from Chinese ceramics, including green celadon porcelains and dark brown tenmoku wares. The earliest Seto ceramics may have evolved from failed attempts to reproduce Chinese celadons. Later Seto wares were given a brown iron glaze and fired at high temperatures to create glossy surfaces. Vessels from the nearby Mino kilns were low-fired and, therefore, present a less polished appearance than Seto wares.
