Japanese Matcha Bowl - Black Raku Kuroraku Hantsusu-gata Chawan - 300ml

This hantsutsu-gata kuroaku chawan (black raku matcha bowl) features a deep black glaze.

Like all raku chawan, this bowls was handbuilt rather than thrown on a wheel. Handbuilding (or handforming, called tebineri (手びねり) in Japanese) refers to pottery made by hand without the use of a high-speed pottery wheel (instead using a low-speed hand spun wheel). As a result, the gentle uneveness and asymmetry of the bowl gives it a warm, organic feel, exuding the Japanese spirit of wabi-sabi.

Dimensions:

12.1cm (4.8in) - width
8cm (3.1in) - height
300ml - capacity

Condition: Very good

This vintage Japanese item ships from Thailand
