Earthy Black Ceramic Tea Bowl / Incense Holder / Snack Bowl / Palo Santo & Sage Burning Vessel

A playful, crooked hand-sculpted ceramic tea bowl, with fingers fitting snugly over the high foot, making it perfectly comfortable to hold. It cradles a bowl of tea with the gentleness of cupped hands, and is also ideal for laying out sage to purify your space, or for burning palo santo to cleanse your spirit. The outer rim of the tea bowl is unglazed, earthy ceramic, with a pure black clay that is both delicate and fine. It appears rugged yet is inwardly reserved and gentle; the base features a matte, ash-blue glaze with hints of caramelized marshmallow, a subtly floating, caramelized cream glaze, evoking a mysterious and soft ambiance. The bowl's high walls are perfect for holding loose herbs, or serving as a base for upright palo santo, allowing you to adjust its position for optimal burning and to prevent extinguishing, securely holding the ashes of purification and blessing, maintaining a tidy and tranquil environment. Purely hand-molded, it boasts a form that is both fluid and unconventional, embodying the ability to embrace everything while retaining its unique presence. _ Ceramic is highly breathable; even after high-temperature firing, it quickly dissipates moisture. When placing it on precious wooden tables or cabinets with liquids, it is recommended to use a coaster. The rim and interior of the bowl retain hand-crafted marks, not smoothed into perfect, seamless curves.
