Know before you buy
Raku is a traditional Japanese firing technique where the pottery is removed from the kiln while glowing hot. This process creates unique, unpredictable surface textures and patterns, meaning every bowl in this collection has a one-of-a-kind finish.
Yes, the round shape is specifically designed to provide enough surface area for a bamboo whisk to move freely. This allows you to create the proper suspension and froth required for a traditional bowl of matcha.
Because of the porous nature of Raku-fired ceramics, it is best to hand wash the bowl gently with warm water and mild soap. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive scrubbers to preserve the integrity of the cherry plum decoration and the unique finish.
While it is designed specifically for the whisking and serving of matcha, its size and aesthetic make it a beautiful vessel for serving small portions of side dishes or snacks. However, keep in mind that the Raku finish is delicate and intended primarily for tea service.
Raku ceramics often have a slightly tactile, organic feel compared to mass-produced glazed pottery. This texture is intentional and provides a comfortable, secure grip while you hold the bowl to drink your tea.
