Know before you buy
Kyo Yaki, or Kyoto ware, is a traditional style of Japanese pottery known for its refined aesthetic and intricate hand-painted details. Owning a Kyo Yaki piece means you are using a bowl crafted with techniques historically favored by Kyoto’s elite tea masters.
Because this bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently using mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh detergents, as these can damage the delicate hand-painted artwork over time.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. You should only use it for serving tea that has already been prepared at the appropriate temperature.
With a diameter of 12 inches and a height of 7.5 inches, this bowl is quite large compared to standard matcha chawan, which typically measure around 4 to 5 inches. Please ensure these dimensions align with your specific whisking technique and serving preferences.
Each bowl features a signature mark from the artisan, which serves as a stamp of authenticity. This mark confirms that the piece was created using traditional Kyo Yaki craftsmanship.
