About Us
Based in Melbourne, Australia, but with roots in the rich history of Chinese tea culture and ceramics, we create a collection that cuts beyond borders. We honour the lesser-known Chinese artists who shape, fire, and refine each vessel with a profound respect for tradition and uniqueness, despite the fact that China is frequently thought of as the birthplace of large-scale production.
We looked for vessels that add significance to every moment since we enjoy tea culture and the art of gathering. We gather and curate inspiring items, such as a wide range of metalware, glass, and ceramics that have been picked for their uniqueness and energy. Our desire to share these exquisite, living items with those who value the poetry of ordinary life gave rise to Min.
Min is a multi-brand concept shop that emphasises the beauty of form and function. The name comes from the Chinese word "皿" (min), which means vessel, container, and object of utility. Each piece in our collection—bowls, plates, cups, and serving ware—has been carefully selected for its unique appearance and understated beauty.
At Min, we think that everything can have a subtle beauty. As a multi-brand concept store, we handpick beautiful teacups, coffee cups, mugs, and dinnerware that represent the raw and the refined—where accuracy is valued equally with imperfection.
We look for items that have presence and use their forms, textures, and materials to convey a story. Some are unpolished, natural, and incredibly genuine, bearing the markings of nature's touch. Others use delicate lines and classic elegance to communicate in the language of painstaking craftsmanship. Every object is complete in its own unique way.
Many of our choices are distinctive, having distinct personalities of their own. Each work has a unique quality that cannot be duplicated, regardless of whether it was created by human hands, moulded by fire and clay, or honed over many generations of craftsmanship. They are unique items that have been shaped by nature's unpredictable nature, influenced by time, and refined via flaws.
We view these items as more than just useful components; they are alive, breathing companions with personality that are just begging to be handled, utilised, and treasured. Through these, we want to encourage a peaceful moment of presence in the ordinary, a link between you and the natural world.
