Oribe is a type of Mino ware that originated in the Azuchi-Momoyama period and was named after the daimyo tea master Furuta Oribe from Mino. It is known for its innovative shapes and patterns that defied traditional tea ceramics. Characteristic designs include intentionally distorted tea bowls and fan-shaped vessels, often featuring geometric patterns like checkered or lattice designs. Oribe ware is commonly recognized for its use of copper-green glaze, which gives the pottery its distinctive green color.
