Know before you buy
Ohi Raku-yaki is a traditional Japanese ceramic technique known for its unique firing process and distinct aesthetic. This style is highly prized by tea practitioners for its tactile quality and ability to retain heat, making it ideal for the matcha ceremony.
Because this is a vintage ceramic piece, it is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with warm water and mild soap, then drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to preserve the integrity of the glaze.
Yes, the dimensions of 11.5 x 8.5 cm provide ample space for a bamboo whisk to move freely. The bowl is specifically designed to allow for the proper aeration and frothing of matcha tea.
This tea bowl features the artist's signature marking on the base, which serves as a mark of its authentic craftsmanship. As a vintage item, this signature confirms its origin and status as a genuine Ohi Raku-yaki work.
The dripping glaze adds a unique tactile dimension to the exterior of the bowl. While it creates a beautiful visual effect, the interior surface remains smooth and suitable for whisking your tea.
