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. Meteoric black glaze darkens this stoneware form, pulling and pooling in soft breaks of iron oxide and opaque greens where the artist added subtly texture details with thumbs and faceting knives to the surface of this piece. 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 work.

This bowl is one of a kind.
