Soft as warm sand – a matcha bowl with soul

This handcrafted matcha bowl from Japan is a unique piece that captivates with its understated elegance and traditional shape. Crafted in the classic Tenmoku-gata shape (天目型), it brings a piece of authentic tea history into your everyday life – quiet, clear, and deeply impressive in its own way.

Craftsmanship in sand and shine

The surface of this authentic Japanese ceramic is reminiscent of the shimmer of fine sand in sunlight—smooth, glossy, and with a calming radiance that immediately captivates. The soft sandy tone lends the chawan a natural warmth and harmonizes perfectly with the slightly curved lip, which makes drinking particularly pleasant.

Light. Fine. Balanced.

With a diameter of 12.5 cm, a height of 6.5 cm, and a weight of just 200 grams, this bowl is particularly light in the hand. The classic Tenmoku-gata shape gives it elegant lines, while the Wa Kodai (輪高台) ring base ensures stability—even when whisking matcha with the chasen.

A piece of Japanese history

This vintage bowl was hand-thrown by a Japanese ceramic artist and bears the original stamp. Its glaze is based on traditional recipes, often passed down through generations within the family—a true piece of living culture. While this is an original tea bowl, we would like to point out that, in accordance with German regulations, this antique is not officially approved as a drinking vessel.

For your tea moments – and beyond

Whether you use it for matcha, other teas, or simply as a tranquil object on your tea table, this bowl invites you to slow down. Every line, every detail, was crafted with the care that characterizes Japanese ceramic art. And with the included gift box and fabric bag, it's also safe and stylish to store.

Between Heaven and Earth – the tradition of Chawan

The Tenmoku-gata shape has a long history. Originally adopted from China, it was refined in Japan over centuries and is now an integral part of the tea ceremony. This sand-colored matcha bowl is a silent witness to this development—not just a utilitarian object, but a vessel for moments of mindfulness.

Care with feeling

To preserve the glaze, please clean the bowl only with lukewarm water and avoid using detergent. This will preserve the natural charm of this unique piece for a long time—and with it the subtle echo of traditional craftsmanship.
