A harmonious blend of tradition and artistry, this handmade katakuchi chawan (spouted matcha bowl) is crafted with both form and function in mind. Its distinctive spout adds versatility — perfect for whisking matcha with ease, or for gracefully pouring tea, sauces, or dressings.
Finished in a powdered glaze of speckled brown-grey, the surface reveals a natural, earthy texture reminiscent of stone and soil. The subtle variation of tones — from warm browns to cool greys — evokes the quiet beauty of weathered landscapes, each bowl unique with its own character born in the kiln.
Its wide, balanced form sits comfortably in the hand, grounding the user in the moment. Whether used for traditional tea ceremonies or for everyday rituals, the tactile quality of clay and glaze elevates the simplest act of preparation into an artful experience.
More than just tableware, this piece embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi — beauty in imperfection, elegance in simplicity, and meaning in the handmade. A timeless chawan for those who seek not only utility but also poetry in their daily lives.
Whether used in your daily tea ritual or displayed as a piece of artisanal tableware, this katakuchi bowl brings quiet elegance to the moment.
