This matcha bowl has a broad, gently rounded rim, compact straight-sided body, and small foot, creating a stable grip and generous whisking space. Dark smoky bands over reddish clay give the surface a strong, shifting presence during a tea preparation.
Chawan, the Japanese word for tea bowl, is the vessel used in the matcha tradition. The form is held in both hands, admired before drinking, and shaped to support whisking, presenting, and sipping powdered tea.
Made in China, the bowl displays wood-fired effects in its charcoal, grey, and russet bands, with horizontal throwing marks remaining visible beneath the changing surface. Rinse away matcha soon after use, then dry the bowl completely before putting it away.
