Know before you buy
Raku Yaki is a traditional Japanese firing process where the piece is removed from the kiln while glowing hot. This results in a unique, porous ceramic structure that is highly prized in tea ceremonies for its tactile quality and aesthetic warmth.
Because this bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid soaking the bowl for extended periods, as the porous nature of Raku-fired ceramics can absorb moisture.
While it is a beautiful collector's piece, it is designed for functional use in your daily matcha ritual. Its dimensions and weight are balanced to provide a comfortable grip while whisking tea.
No, this bowl is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. The thermal shock from these appliances can damage the ceramic glaze and the structural integrity of the Raku-fired clay.
The signature on the base is a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship, identifying the specific artisan or studio behind the piece. It serves as a mark of quality and provenance for your collection.
