Inspired by the poetic heritage of Annan ware, this high-footed tea bowl brings a sense of quiet elegance to everyday tea rituals. Handpainted shiboride indigo blue floral motifs bloom softly, echoing the charm of vintage Southeast Asian ceramics with a refined retro sensibility. Each piece carries subtle variations in brushwork and tone, celebrating the rustic beauty of the handmade. .

"Shiboride" specifically describes a decorative effect on Annan pottery, where the indigo dye is intentionally blurred or scattered after the initial application. While "shibori" is widely known as a traditional Japanese manual resist dyeing technique for fabric (similar to tie-dye), "shiboride" specifically describes the aesthetic pattern created by this "squeezing" or "blotting" effect in ceramics. 

Crafted from durable stoneware and finished with an underglazed surface, the bowl offers a smooth, balanced feel in the hands. The ceramic body offers a grounding weight in the hand, while the wide-mouthed shape allows for easy whisking and mixing. Its elevated foot gives the chawan a graceful profile while providing comfortable insulation for warm matcha or tea.

Perfect for mindful tea moments, display on open shelves, or as a thoughtful gift for tea lovers, this bowl blends artistry, history, and function in one timeless form.
