Mino Ware, Matte Grey Daisy Boat-Shape Dish, 113x68x34mm
113 x 68 x 34mm: a boat-shaped daisy dish in matte grey, for small portions with a bit of shape.
Pre-order: arriving in the UK in late October 2026
This Mino ware dish is 113mm long, 68mm wide and 34mm high, an elongated boat shape with a daisy-petal outline and a matte grey glaze. The long form suits things laid in a row, and the depth keeps sauces in.
Why Chefs Choose This
- Long and narrow: ideal for sliced food, skewers and rows of pickles
- Holds sauce: 34mm deep for dressings and dips
- Matching design: the same daisy and grey as the two daisy plates
- Breaks the circle: an oval among round plates adds interest
How to Use
- Sliced bites: tamagoyaki, kamaboko or sashimi
- Pickles: a row of tsukemono beside rice
- Dips: miso dip or goma dare with crudités
- Sweets: a couple of wagashi or chocolates
Flower-shaped tableware, with rims cut or moulded into petals, is a long-standing Japanese way of bringing a touch of nature to the table. A matte grey glaze keeps the shape modern and lets the petal outline do the work. Boat-shaped dishes (funagata) are also a classic Japanese form, often used for sashimi and pickles. Mino ware comes from Gifu Prefecture, Japan's largest ceramic tableware region.
What is a boat-shaped dish used for?
Its long, narrow shape suits food laid in a line: slices of sashimi or tamagoyaki, a skewer, or a neat row of pickles. At 113 x 68 x 34mm it is a side dish, and the depth means it takes a dressing or dip too.

Does it match the daisy plates?
Yes. It shares the matte grey glaze and daisy-petal design with the 135mm and 170mm daisy plates arriving on the same container.
Is it dishwasher and microwave safe?
We are waiting on the maker's care guidance and will add it here before the stock lands, so we are not going to guess. Until it arrives, hand washing in warm soapy water with a soft sponge is the safe choice for glazed Japanese tableware. Let it dry fully before stacking or putting it away.
When will my pre-order arrive?
This dish is on a container due in the UK in late October 2026. Order now to reserve one, and we will send it out once the stock has landed and been checked in. If the arrival date moves, we will let you know.
