CHIPS was founded in 2016 to make tableware people reach for without thinking: handles that balance naturally, rims that meet the lip comfortably, glazes that look better as the table fills up. The Ancient Pottery finish is deliberately quiet, muted tones with a softly weathered quality and natural yuragi (揺らぎ) in the glaze, the gentle irregularities that mean no two pieces are quite identical. At 13.8cm wide and 5cm deep it works for side dishes, a small salad, fruit, or a dessert. The kind of bowl that quietly becomes indispensable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHIPS Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Brass","offer_id":52928472088919,"sku":"BOW-CER-MIN-CHP-001-BRS","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":52928472121687,"sku":"BOW-CER-MIN-CHP-001-GRY","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":52928472154455,"sku":"BOW-CER-MIN-CHP-001-WHT","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9328\/9303\/files\/DSC04720.jpg?v=1777184250"},{"product_id":"ancient-pottery-mino-ware-bowl-large","title":"Ancient Pottery Mino-ware bowl - large","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Mino-yaki (美濃焼), Gifu Prefecture, over 1,300 years of ceramic tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- By CHIPS Inc., designed in Gunma, produced in Mino's specialist factories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- 14.5cm wide, 4cm deep; suits curry, pasta, salad or family sharing dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome bowls are for careful occasions.

Rather than manufacturing directly, they partner with specialist Mino factories whose craftsmen understand the clay intimately, producing pieces that combine contemporary design sensibility with deep regional skill. The Ancient Pottery glaze takes its cue from vintage folk ceramics: a softly weathered finish with yuragi (揺らぎ), the quiet irregularities and natural speckle that make each piece slightly different from the next.

CHIPS was founded in 2016 to make tableware people reach for without thinking, partnering with specialist Mino potters using local materials and techniques. The Ancient Pottery dripper is made from stoneware, not porcelain: a denser, more resilient clay body that suits daily use. The form is wide and low with a flat base, three drainage holes and ribs that radiate outward from the base, creating an even flow and allowing air to escape steadily during the pour. The glaze has the intentional irregularities and weathered bronze-brown tones of the Ancient Pottery series. Over time and use, the stoneware develops a subtle patina from natural chemical reactions, making each dripper gradually more individual. Sits on a small flat disc foot with a tab handle. Suits standard paper filters. Microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.
