Tezumi Matcha Bowl

This specific shape, also known as Hatazori-gata, features a gentle outward-curving lip. It is designed to make the bowl comfortable to hold and drink from, while also providing a distinct silhouette that is highly prized in traditional tea ceremonies.

Shino glaze is celebrated for its thick, milky-white, and sometimes pitted appearance. On this piece, it creates a soft, tactile surface that complements the wabi-sabi aesthetic, highlighting the handmade nature of the ceramic.

While it is a vintage piece, it is fully functional as a chawan. Its 200ml capacity is ideal for preparing standard servings of matcha, though you should handle it with the care appropriate for handmade ceramic.

Wabi-sabi is a Japanese aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. In this bowl, it manifests through the subtle unevenness of the handmade construction and the unique character of the vintage glaze, making each piece one-of-a-kind.

The four nodes are a stylistic feature of this specific design. While they add visual interest and texture, they also provide subtle points of grip when holding the bowl during the whisking process.
