Know before you buy
The bowl is in excellent structural condition but features inherent aging stains. These marks are a natural result of the ceramic's age and are considered part of its unique, authentic character rather than a functional defect.
Yes, with a 13 cm diameter and 8.5 cm height, the bowl provides ample room to whisk matcha comfortably without splashing. Its tapered shape is specifically designed to facilitate the proper movement of a bamboo whisk.
We recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the ceramic finish and potentially worsen the existing aging patina.
The ombre effect is achieved through authentic Japanese ceramic techniques, where the glaze is applied to create a natural, warm transition in color. Because it is handmade, each piece possesses subtle variations that make it one-of-a-kind.
Absolutely. While it is optimized for the matcha ritual, its durable ceramic construction and elegant design make it a versatile vessel for tea, coffee, or even as a decorative serving bowl for small snacks.
