Know before you buy

Yes, the bowl is crafted from durable stoneware, making it well-suited for regular matcha preparation. However, please note that it is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe, so it should be hand-washed with care.
With a 450ml capacity, this bowl is on the larger side, which is ideal if you prefer a generous serving of matcha or if you enjoy using a larger bamboo whisk. Its width of 12.2cm provides ample room for vigorous whisking.
To preserve the integrity of the translucent white glaze, hand-wash the bowl using mild soap and warm water. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and do not place it in the dishwasher or microwave, as the stoneware material can be sensitive to extreme temperature changes.
While the bowl features a unique, irregular aesthetic, it is designed to be stable. The base is crafted to sit securely on flat surfaces, ensuring it remains steady while you whisk your tea.
