Original Japanese Matcha bowl “Burning Sky” – Chawan in Han tsutsu-gata shape with Kaijiri-Kodai base

Magical play of colors: The Matcha bowl “Burning Sky”

Like a liquid sky in motion – this is the impression of this original Japanese matcha bowl, whose surface shimmers in rich blue, revealing violet and reddish light. Crafted in the classic Han tsutsu-gata (半筒型) form, it represents Japanese reduction and harmony. Every nuance on the surface is reminiscent of the glow of a sky shortly before dawn – hence the name "Burning Sky."

Handmade unique piece with character

This chawan is a truly unique vintage piece – handmade in Japan and bearing visible traces of its origin. The purple accents, the fine glaze gradient, and the carefully applied reddish edges are the result of a highly developed flow glaze technique. The combination of controlled heat, a special glaze recipe, and skilled craftsmanship creates a surface that appears different in every light.

Balanced proportions for your tea ritual

With a diameter of 12 cm, a height of 7 cm, and a weight of 279 grams, this matcha bowl sits comfortably in the hand. The shape is not only visually balanced but also functionally sophisticated—ideal for whisking matcha with a chasen. The shell-like base in the Kaijiri Kodai design (貝尻高台) adds further elegance and visually sets it apart from the table.

The special feature of the Kaijiri-Kodai foot

Typical of this foot shape is the shell-shaped curve, which creates a special appeal both when viewed and when grasping the bowl. It lends the piece a sense of lightness and dynamism, while simultaneously maintaining stability and a harmonious relationship between the foot and the body.

Original Japanese ceramics – with signature and wooden box

The bowl comes in a wooden box signed by the potter—a reference to its provenance and respect for the object. The calligraphy on the box and the stamp on the base of the bowl not only guarantee authenticity but also make the piece particularly valuable for collectors.

Function meets emotion

The combination of material, shape, and weight creates an immediate sense of calm. The smooth, gently textured surface feels almost alive under your fingers. Matcha is whipped evenly, and the open edges allow the aroma to fully develop. Every detail is designed to give you a conscious moment.

Mindfulness in care

To preserve the glaze and vibrant texture, clean the bowl only with lukewarm water – without detergent. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. This way, this unique piece of authentic Japanese ceramic will last for many years – not just as a vessel, but as a companion for your tea ritual.
