Yes, 350ml is a generous capacity for a chawan. It provides ample room to whisk your tea vigorously without splashing, making it ideal for both thin (usucha) and thick (koicha) preparations.
To maintain the integrity of the glaze and ceramic, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher or microwave, as these can stress the vintage material and potentially damage the delicate finish.
