A Bowl of Spring: Cherry Blossom Matcha Bowl - 10cm/12.5cm

🌸 Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom: A Handmade Matcha Bowl Holding a Bowl of Spring Scenery Tender cherry blossoms bloom across the bowl, naturally extending between the serene gray and gentle white glazes. Varying shades of pink petals are adorned with tender green leaves and scattered fallen blossoms, as if gently enclosing a piece of spring cherry scenery within the tea bowl. The rustic gray glaze complements the delicate and beautiful cherry blossoms, while the irregularly applied white glaze acts as a blank canvas, highlighting the floral colors. This creates an overall impression that is both tender and bright like spring cherries, while retaining the natural warmth and texture of handmade pottery. 🍃 The pieces are available in two sizes, with slight variations in glaze and shape. The larger size has a lighter tone and a slightly angular profile, while the smaller size has a deeper color and more rounded lines. Both feature a wide bowl mouth and appropriate depth, providing ample space for the tea whisk to froth the matcha. They are perfectly suited for daily tea preparation or for those new to the art. The interplay of tender spring cherries and serene gray glaze allows this practical matcha bowl to become a soft and enduring part of your tea ceremony, a gentle spring landscape. 【Features of a Matcha Bowl】 The Japanese tea ceremony places great emphasis on the consumption of matcha, and specialized "matcha bowls" are used for preparing the tea. Traditional matcha bowls are typically crafted from clay. Beyond their shape, designed for easy whisking with a tea whisk, they also consider the tactile sensation when held, heat retention, and the natural texture presented by the clay and glaze. ✅ Wide Mouth Design: Compared to regular rice bowls, matcha bowls usually have a wider mouth. This provides sufficient space for the tea whisk to agitate the matcha, making the whisking process smoother. ✅ Appropriate Depth and Thickness: The bowl has a certain depth, which helps to minimize splashing of the tea liquid during whisking. The thicker ceramic body also aids in heat retention and provides a stable feel when held. ✅ Distinctive Foot Ring: Matcha bowls typically have a pronounced foot ring at the base. This facilitates support with the fingers when drinking and is also an element to appreciate the bowl's form and craftsmanship. ✅ Exposed Foot Ring: The bottom of the foot ring on ceramic matcha bowls is usually unglazed, allowing the original texture and firing marks of the clay to be visible. The exposed clay has a certain absorbency. Therefore, after washing, it should be thoroughly dried before storing to prevent prolonged moisture retention. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54330808333_ee126d225e_w.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55515329461_4ef795aec7_w.jpg ※ Comes with a paper box. ※ Product Dimensions: Small Bowl: Diameter 10cm × Height 6cm Large Bowl: Diameter 12.5cm × Height 7.5cm ※ All pieces are handmade by artisans.
