Know before you buy
No, this bowl is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe. Due to the delicate hand-painted design and the nature of traditional Oribe pottery, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap to preserve its finish.
While it is specifically designed for the matcha ceremony, its 8.4 oz capacity and 5.25-inch diameter make it a versatile piece. It works beautifully as a small serving bowl for sides or as a decorative accent piece in your home.
With a diameter of 5.25 inches and a height of 3.25 inches, this bowl offers a generous capacity that is slightly larger than some minimalist chawan styles. This makes it comfortable to hold while whisking your matcha, providing ample space for the bamboo whisk to move freely.
Oribe pottery is a historic Japanese ceramic style known for its distinctive, often asymmetrical shapes and rich, expressive glazes. This bowl reflects that tradition through its unique aesthetic and hand-painted details, prioritizing artistic character over mass-produced uniformity.
No, this bowl is not designed to be stackable. Because of its specific shape and the delicate nature of the ceramic, it is best stored individually on a shelf or display stand to prevent chipping or damage to the painted camellia design.
