Our favorite tea bowls act like extensions of the hand, vessels intended to be cradled throughout the day. Taiwanese potter, Zhang Hao Yan is a master of this form, each bowl gently curved and sized to hold close. Black glaze darkens the surface of this stoneware form, undulating between a soft matte finish and a subtly crepe texture like chitinous lichen. With spacious interiors, Zhang’s tea bowls are ideally proportioned for whisking fresh matcha, creating further contrasts in color between the bright green of the powdered tea and dark, wood fired glaze.

This bowl is one of a kind.

Usage and care: To wash, simply rinse between uses or hand scrub. We do not recommend use of detergent.
