What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this artisanal tea bowl for its exquisite design and superior quality. The deep brown choco glaze is frequently described as mesmerizing, adding a rich visual depth that enhances the tea ritual. Reviewers value the substantial, balanced weight and the smooth, tactile feel of the ceramic, which conveys excellent craftsmanship.

Know before you buy
Yes, the irregular shape is a deliberate design choice that provides a comfortable grip and creates the necessary space for a bamboo whisk to move freely when preparing matcha.
With a diameter of 11.5 cm and a height of 7.5 cm, this bowl is significantly larger than a standard teacup. It is specifically proportioned to allow for vigorous whisking without splashing.
While it is optimized for the matcha ritual, its generous size and ceramic construction make it a beautiful vessel for serving warm soups, lattes, or other hot beverages.
To preserve the integrity of the glaze and the ceramic, we recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and avoiding the dishwasher. This will help maintain the finish and prevent potential micro-cracking over time.
No, the signature marking is integrated into the base of the ceramic and does not impact the bowl's stability on a flat surface.
