Know before you buy

This piece is listed in very good condition. While it may show minor signs of age consistent with its history, it has been inspected to ensure it remains fully functional and aesthetically intact for your tea preparation.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to its ceramic construction and vintage nature, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap and avoiding extreme temperature changes to preserve the glaze and integrity of the piece.
Yes, 300ml is a generous size that provides ample room to whisk your matcha without splashing. It is well-suited for both thin tea (usucha) and thick tea (koicha) preparations.
Hand wash the bowl after each use and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid soaking it for long periods, and store it in a safe place away from direct heat sources to protect the ceramic and the decorative ume blossom finish.
