Original Japanese Matcha Bowl Chawan

This bowl is designed for traditional matcha preparation. Its size and shape are specifically crafted to provide enough room for a bamboo whisk to move freely, allowing you to create a proper froth.

Yes, its versatile size makes it quite practical beyond tea ceremonies. It works well as a small serving bowl for side dishes, dipping sauces, or even as a decorative catch-all for small items.

Because it is hand-crafted porcelain, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents, which can dull the finish and the delicate floral pattern over time.

While the porcelain is durable, we advise against using it in the microwave or dishwasher. Hand washing preserves the integrity of the hand-crafted finish and ensures the longevity of the traditional Arita design.

Arita ware is one of Japan's most prestigious pottery traditions, originating in the 17th century. It is known for its refined, durable porcelain and intricate, often hand-painted, decorative styles.
