Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Expressive vessel for Matcha in Japanese Han tsutsu-gata shape
Dark, rough, expressive – this matcha bowl called "Stone Shadow" takes the traditional Japanese tea vessel to a new level. Handmade in Japan, in the classic Han tsutsu-gata shape (半筒型), it captivates with a surface reminiscent of weathered stone, interspersed with rust-brown inclusions and a metallic shimmer that vividly changes depending on the light. This chawan is more than just a matcha vessel – it is an expression of true craftsmanship and lived-in aesthetics.
Compact dimensions and perfect hold during the tea ritual
Measuring 10.5 x 8 cm and weighing 362 g, it sits exceptionally comfortably in the hand—not too heavy, not too light, just right for the meditative preparation of matcha. The classic Wa Kodai (輪高台) ring base ensures stability and balanced handling, while the slightly irregular shape deliberately reveals the traces of human labor: every line speaks of the potter's wheel, the fire of the kiln, the eye and feeling of the ceramic master.
A play of black, stone and metal – each matcha cup is unique
The color scheme invites you to take a closer look. A black-blue base tone, interspersed with a stone-colored, rusty pattern—almost like oxidation on metal. This matcha cup has a visual depth that is difficult to put into words. Depending on the light and angle, it appears angular, then soft, mysterious, and earthy. Once you hold it in your hands, you'll immediately notice: material and form merge into an object that intensifies the moment of tea drinking.
Functionality meets aesthetics: Your new Matcha Bowl
And that's exactly what it was made for. As a matcha bowl for the traditional chasing of matcha tea – but also as a small tea bowl for other varieties or as a vessel for small rituals in which form and function interact. Its slightly rough, almost organic-looking surface makes it particularly pleasant to hold. Tea isn't simply drunk – it's celebrated.
Handmade originality from Japan
This handmade matcha bowl comes from a Japanese pottery, is a true vintage piece, and bears the artist's stamp as a sign of its provenance. Delivered in its original box, it offers not only functionality but also history. For collectors, tea connoisseurs, or anyone who wants to consciously take time for a good moment.
