Matcha bowl “Grime Raku” – Handmade Chawan in Han tsutsu-gata shape

A vessel born of fire

This matcha bowl is more than just a functional object—it is the silent legacy of an ancient tea tradition. Crafted in the characteristic Han tsutsu-gata shape, it combines the artisanal expertise of Japanese potters with a presence that will make you pause at first touch. The deep black glaze, interspersed with sooty brown and ash tones, is reminiscent of charred wood—a vessel born of fire, powerful yet tranquil at the same time.

Handmade in Japan – every detail is a sign

This chawan is a truly unique piece. Crafted by skilled artisans in Japan, inspired by a centuries-old ceramics tradition that continues to this day in small workshops. The glaze is based on traditional recipes, some of which have been passed down through generations – often guarded like a family secret. This creates a surface that is not only visually captivating but also feels vibrant under the fingers.

Dimensions, weight and shape – made for the tea ceremony

With a diameter of 11.5 cm, a height of 8 cm, and a weight of 362 g, this matcha bowl is just the right size for preparing your matcha. The classic Wa Kodai ring base provides stability, while the rounded lip lends the bowl a special elegance and a pleasant drinking experience. Its semi-cylindrical shape supports the even whipping of the matcha with the chasen, resulting in a fine-pored foam that unfolds perfectly.

More than a matcha cup – a ritual in your hands

This bowl is your companion when you take time for yourself. Time for your tea, for your ritual, for yourself. It sits softly in the hand, with a feel that seems almost organic. Whether as a matcha bowl, matcha cup, matcha bowl, or simply as a vessel for a tea ceremony – it connects you directly with a culture where mindfulness and form go hand in hand.

This way it will last for a long time

To preserve the beauty of this special piece, clean it only with lukewarm water. Avoid detergent and sudden temperature changes—this will protect the glaze and preserve the structure that gives this chawan its soul.

A unique piece with depth and history

Vintage, hand-thrown, Japanese – this bowl not only carries history, it carries it on. A piece of Japanese ceramic art that won't disappear on a shelf, but rather begs to be used, felt, and appreciated. When you use it for the first time, you'll realize: You're not just holding a matcha bowl. You're holding a piece of living culture.
