A classic black ceramic matcha bowl from the Japanese Raku tradition. The bowl is handcrafted by a family-run business in Kyoto with a history spanning over 100 years.
Raku ware is shaped by hand rather than thrown on a potter’s wheel. The pieces are fired at a low temperature and then rapidly cooled. This process gives each item a unique texture, a natural, uneven rim, and a deep, lustrous black glaze accented by subtle reddish highlights—known as keshiki, or “landscape” markings.
Made in Japan.
