Know before you buy
Raku firing is a traditional process where the pottery is removed from the kiln while glowing hot and cooled rapidly. This technique creates the unique, unpredictable copper-toned glaze and surface textures that make each bowl one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the irregular shape is intentional and common in traditional chawan design. It provides a comfortable, ergonomic grip for your hands while allowing enough space for your bamboo whisk to move freely during the preparation process.
Because of the unique Raku glaze, we recommend hand-washing the bowl with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the delicate finish and the integrity of the artisanal glaze.
With a diameter of 11 cm and a height of 7.5 cm, this bowl is perfectly sized for a standard serving of matcha. It offers enough depth to prevent splashing while whisking and fits comfortably in the palms of your hands.
Due to the nature of the Raku firing process and the fact that each piece is handcrafted in Vietnam, slight variations in the floral pattern and glaze distribution are expected. These variations are considered a hallmark of the bowl's artisanal quality rather than a defect.
