A beautiful matcha bowl, or chawan, is one of the most important components of the Japanese tea ceremony. Handmade with regional techniques, the organic, undulating shape of traditional matcha bowls is designed to create the smooth, frothy consistency beloved by matcha enthusiasts. This artisan tea bowl is made with care in the Youhen Ibushi style, and features a raw, angular, ashy, primitive texture that requires a master’s hand. Each matcha bowl is produced in the region of Shiga, a center of ceramic industry that has been producing shigaraki ware pottery since 742 AD.
Clay
Height: 7.5cm / Diameter: 11.5cm
Owning a matcha bowl requires thoughtful handling and careful use. Because of their handmade quality, wash by hand with a neutral soap, and dry immediately. This bowl is not microwave, oven, or dishwasher safe.
