Katakuchi Spouted Bowl Tea Cooler Sake Vessel A

This spouted bowl (Katakuchi) features a beautiful contrast between the earthy, rustic texture of the clay and the stunning blue glaze on the inside. Radiating the warmth of handcrafted art and simple beauty, it is the perfect companion for your relaxing tea or sake time. Crafted with care on a potter's wheel, this piece is made from coarse Shigaraki clay rich in feldspar. The exterior retains the natural, tactile marks of the potter's wheel, while the interior is smoothly glazed. Designed for an exceptional pouring experience, it cuts off the water stream cleanly without dripping. The creator poured their years of experience studying the Sencha tea ceremony into perfecting every detail. By pouring boiling water into this vessel to let it cool before brewing, you can achieve a wonderfully soft and delicious cup of green tea. Beyond tea, it also serves beautifully as a sake pitcher or a unique bowl for presenting culinary dishes. Its rounded shape fits perfectly in your hands, allowing you to feel the comforting warmth of the earthy clay. With its simple design, it easily harmonizes with your existing tableware. As you continue to use it, you can enjoy the beautiful way the pottery naturally deepens in character and color over time.
