Doukessho Matcha Bowl

The Capital Teas Doukessho Matcha Bowl (chawan) is a most beautiful yet simple piece of traditional Japanese ceramic artwork whose specific function is for whisking up and drinking powdered green tea, called Matcha. These specially styled bowls have been utilized in the Japanese tea ceremony since the 13th century. This 4.5-inch diameter handmade ceramic vessel, made in Japan for Capital Teas, is of an appropriately irregular shape with metallic firing in a low-temperature kiln; this leaves it less durable than porcelain tea wares, and indeed it is made solely for holding with both hands to drink low-heat liquids, rather than for steeping hot-temperature teas such as black tea or loose leaf tea.

Made in Japan.
