Know before you buy
The Wan-nari style is a classic, bowl-like shape characterized by its gentle, rounded curves. It is specifically designed to provide ample space for whisking matcha effectively while fitting comfortably in your hands.
Yes, the durable ceramic construction is built for regular use. However, because it is a handcrafted piece, it requires careful hand-washing to preserve the glaze and the integrity of the calligraphy.
No, this bowl is not microwave, dishwasher, oven, or freezer safe. We recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and avoiding extreme temperature changes to protect the ceramic and the decorative finish.
At 375ml, this bowl is on the larger side, offering plenty of room to whisk your tea without splashing. It is ideal for those who prefer a slightly larger serving or who enjoy the extra space for a more vigorous whisking technique.
This indicates the bowl has been well-maintained and shows minimal signs of wear. As a pre-owned or vintage-style piece, it retains its original character and functional quality, making it ready for immediate use in your tea practice.
