Handcrafted in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, this Minoware (Mino-yaki) matcha bowl is a timeless piece of Japanese ceramic tradition. Mino ware has been celebrated for over 1,300 years, prized for its natural glazes, earthy textures, and refined aesthetic. Each chawan (tea bowl) is carefully shaped and fired by artisans who carry forward generations of knowledge, making it an essential tool for enjoying authentic Japanese tea culture. Designed with both beauty and functionality in mind, this Japanese matcha bowl is perfect for whisking and savoring matcha green tea. Its wide form allows for smooth whisking with a bamboo chasen, while the depth and weight give a grounded feel in the hands. Whether used in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony or for daily rituals at home, the Mino ware chawan brings a sense of calm, balance, and elegance to every cup. A handmade Japanese tea bowl is more than just tableware—it is a piece of art that enriches your matcha experience. Slight variations in glaze, tone, and texture make every bowl unique, embodying the wabi-sabi philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection. Ideal for tea enthusiasts, collectors, or as a thoughtful gift, this Minoware matcha bowl invites you to slow down and appreciate the craftsmanship of Japan in your daily life. All Pottery Matcha Bowl products are wholly handmade in Japan. Each piece is unique; slight irregularities in size, glaze, colour and texture might occur and reflect the nature of the artisan product. ■ Hand-made in Japan ■ Not suitable for microwave.
