Japanese Yuzamashi - Tokoname-yaki Spouted Bowl
Best versatile vessel for traditional tea enthusiasts and matcha hosts.
This white Tokoname-yaki spouted bowl serves a dual purpose: as a yuzamashi for cooling water or as a pouring chawan for serving matcha to multiple guests or preparing matcha lattes. Originating from Tokoname in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, a region with a pottery tradition dating back to the 12th century, this piece showcases the area's renowned shudei clay, known for its vibrant, iron-rich color. While typically associated with red clay, this glazed version offers a distinct aesthetic. Its dimensions are 17.3cm in width and 8.5cm in height, with a capacity of 300ml.
