「無名異土」と呼ばれる酸化鉄を多量に含んだ赤土を原料とする焼物。19世紀初頭に無名異土を混ぜる赤色の楽焼が最初に始まり、明治時代に高温で硬質に焼成する現在の無名異焼が完成した。
佐渡で産出する陶土と釉薬原料を使用することが原則だが、技術の進歩や陶工たちの長年の工夫により、近年は釉薬原料や造形が多様となり、窯元ごとに特徴の異なる製品が作り出されている。

Mumyoi ware is made from red clay containing a large amount of iron oxide called “Mumyoi-do,” and was first produced in the early 19th century as Raku ware in red color mixed with Mumyoi-do, and the present Mumyoi ware, fired at high temperature and hardness, was completed in the Meiji period.
In principle, clay and glaze materials produced on Sado Island should be used, but with the advancement of technology and the ingenuity of potters over the years, glaze materials and forms have become more diverse in recent years, and each kiln produces products with different characteristics.
