Chawan - Black Ceramic Bowl

Made in Kyoto, Japan. This traditional Matcha Chawan is the perfect shape and size for Matcha preparation. The contour of the bowl from side to bottom is elegant and fits comfortably in your hands. The deep green glaze, Beedoro, is one of the most traditional glazes of Shigaraki Yaki, one of the six major ceramic developers across Japan. The dark brown color is created by soil containing fine iron. The burnt iron has a faint glimmer or shine, and the technique is known as iron solubilization. Lead-free. Shigaraki is one of the six major old Japanese kilns.Begun in 743 A.D., the Shigaraki kiln has produced traditional Japanese ware for over 1250 years, and holds the distinction of being the oldest kiln. Shigaraki ware is characterized by its natural, simplistic style and grace of the combination of the clay and feldspar.   5% for good We donate 5% of all proceeds to mental health nonprofits like Mental Health America (MHA) & National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).
