In an attempt to create an affordable mimicry of Chinese white porcelain, iron-rich clay was dipped in white slip (liquified clay) and covered with a translucent ash glaze. Korean kohiki chawan were brought to Japan, where they were revered as masterpieces (名物) by tea masters. Recently, this rustic style has seen a resurgence in popularity owing to its timeless, natural elegance. Compared to the harsh white of porcelain, kohiki vessels have a soft, warm, and organic feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe porous nature of kohiki ware means that over time, it will develop a deep, rich patina as tea seeps its way into the glaze. As such they are seen as 'breathing vessels' that age and develop alongside their owners. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike all porous glazes, they should be filled with hot water before each use to 'awaken' the glaze and even out the aging process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that due to the nature of kohiki vessels and handmade ceramics, each piece will be unique and may differ slightly than the item pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have found that these bowls pour best when using a standard usucha amount of around 50-100ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Naoki Kawabuchi (川淵直樹), who specialises in rustic, traditional styles, such as kohiki, hakeme, and nanban.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kawabuchi Naoki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548458606636,"sku":"US-M241","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1ttWQdSZKwxHkaVjLKyoiFdqTEOx2iLNt.jpg?v=1779031560","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/kohiki-kyo-yaki-spouted-matcha-bowl-250ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
