With a 14 cm diameter and a deep, generous form, this bowl provides ample room for a bamboo whisk to move freely, minimizing the risk of splashing while you achieve a proper froth.
Because this bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently with warm water and a soft sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers to preserve the integrity of the Kohiki slipware glaze.
Tokoname-yaki is one of Japan's six ancient kiln sites, renowned for using iron-rich red clay. This specific clay gives the bowl its distinct weight, durability, and a warm, organic aesthetic that develops character over time.
No, this bowl is not suitable for microwave, oven, or freezer use. The delicate nature of the traditional slipware finish and the specific properties of the iron-rich clay require it to be kept away from extreme temperature fluctuations.
