Know before you buy
Yes, the 400ml capacity provides ample room to whisk your matcha vigorously without spilling over the sides. The bowl's dimensions are specifically designed to accommodate the standard movement of a bamboo whisk.
No, this bowl is not microwave or dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the ceramic glaze and the smiling face design.
Wan-nari refers to a traditional bowl shape that is rounded and deep, resembling a bowl used for rice or soup. This shape is ideal for matcha as it allows the whisk to reach the bottom easily while keeping the tea warm.
The bowl is listed in very good condition, but as a vintage-style ceramic piece, it may feature minor variations in the glaze or texture that are characteristic of artisanal ceramics. These nuances add to the bowl's unique charm and character.
The bowl features a warm beige ceramic glaze that is generally smooth to the touch. This finish makes it easy to clean and comfortable to hold while you enjoy your tea.
