Japanese ceramic studio Nankei specialise in the production of these beautiful matcha bowls that can also be used as a cup. This piece is made from an iron rich clay.

The clay is the reason Nankei are able to produce such a bowl without a glaze, naturally changing colour during the firing and offering a smooth surface with tiny irregularities inside that mellow the taste of the tea and make it slightly less astringent.

Named 'kittate-wan', this bowl designed to transform the traditional matcha bowl from a purely special object tucked away in a cupboard to an object that can be used daily. Multifunctional and beautiful!

Please note: Each piece is handmade and may feature small markings from the making process.

Approx Dimensions: 9.5cm diameter x 7.5cm height (400ml). Material: Stoneware (ceramic), Unglazed. Handmade in Japan. Ships from the UK.
