Know before you buy
Crackle glazes are a traditional aesthetic feature in Japanese pottery. While the glaze is durable, it is porous by nature, so we recommend rinsing the bowl immediately after use to prevent tea tannins from settling into the fine lines.
Yes, the 12.5 cm diameter provides ample space for the vigorous circular motion required to whisk matcha properly. It is specifically designed to allow for a full range of motion without splashing.
Hand wash the bowl with mild soap and warm water. Due to the artisanal nature of the crackle glaze and the ceramic construction, it is not recommended for use in the dishwasher or microwave.
A 9/10 rating indicates that the item is in excellent, near-mint condition. It may show very minor signs of handling consistent with its status as a high-quality, handcrafted piece, but it remains structurally perfect and fully functional.
While optimized for the matcha ritual, its size and shape make it a versatile vessel. It works beautifully as a small serving bowl for soups, grains, or snacks, though it is primarily intended as a traditional chawan.
