Elevate your tea ritual with this wheel-thrown matcha bowl, carefully shaped and glazed by hand. Designed with a wide, open form, it allows for smooth whisking and a creamy froth, while the gently curved lip makes sipping effortless.
No two bowls are ever the same: subtle variations in glaze, texture, and form make each one truly one of a kind.
- Handmade and thrown on the wheel - Food, dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe - Roughly 4.5" x 2.5" tall
How it's made: The handmade pottery process through wheel throwing begins with the meticulous preparation of clay, which involves wedging to remove air bubbles and create a uniform consistency. Next, I skillfully shape the clay on the wheel, a process requiring focus and precision (that takes years to master and perfect), allow the piece to dry 1-2 days, then followed by trimming and refining the piece. Finally, after drying for a few more days, the pottery is fired in an electric kiln at over 2000ºF for 10 hours, cooled down for another 10 hours, glazed, and fired again at 2200ºF, culminating in a labor-intensive journey that can span weeks before the final piece emerges. (And this doesn't include all the pieces that may break in the process). I hope you enjoy this handmade piece and appreciate all the hard work (and love) that is put into each ceramic object.
