Know before you buy
Oribe glaze is a traditional Japanese technique known for its distinctive, often asymmetrical, and earthy aesthetic. Because it is applied by hand, every bowl features unique color patterns and glaze distribution, meaning no two pieces are exactly alike.
Yes, with a 14-ounce capacity, this bowl provides ample space to whisk matcha without splashing. Its 4-1/2 inch diameter is specifically designed to allow your bamboo whisk to move freely against the bottom and sides.
We recommend hand washing this bowl to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the unique Oribe glaze. Avoid harsh detergents or high-heat cycles to ensure the finish remains in pristine condition.
Due to the artisanal, hand-glazed nature of the ceramic, you should expect variations in color and glaze texture. These variations are intentional and are considered a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship rather than a defect.
Yes, this bowl is crafted from durable ceramic designed for both functional tea preparation and aesthetic display. While it is sturdy enough for daily rituals, it should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine Japanese ceramics.
