This matcha bowl was handcrafted in Tokoname, one of Japan’s oldest pottery towns, where ceramic traditions stretch back over 900 years. But there’s nothing ordinary about this piece.
The moment you see it, you’ll notice the stunning crackled glaze—a textured surface that draws your eye, yet is smoothed over with a clear finish to protect your matcha whisk. Then there’s the green drippy glaze that flows down like melted moss on stone, adding an organic, almost whimsical feel to an otherwise imposing bowl. It’s earthy and elegant at the same time—a visual balance that makes a statement while feeling effortlessly natural.
This is the kind of bowl that doesn't just hold your tea—it sets the mood. Whether you’re just beginning your matcha journey or you’ve made it a daily ritual, this piece adds meaning to every step. The shape, the weight, the finish—it all comes together in a way that reflects both history and personal connection.
