Matcha Bowl - Shadow Glaze

This is a Mino ware tableware.

A Mino ware matcha bowl with a striking contrast — glossy black base meets flowing ash-toned glaze.

The organic drip pattern around the rim evokes the unpredictable beauty of fire-kiln finishes.

With its balanced shape and grounded feel, this bowl is perfect not only for whisking matcha but also for serving sweets or small dishes.

Please note that the appearance and texture may vary slightly from piece to piece. Thank you for your understanding.

Mino ware originated during the Momoyama period, alongside the rise of the tea ceremony, and is primarily produced in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. It was particularly loved by tea masters during the birth of Japan’s wabi-sabi culture. Notable types of Mino ware include the refined pale yellow Kizeto, the glossy jet-black Setoguro, the soft milky-white Shino ware, and the uniquely green-patterned Oribe ware. Today, Mino ware accounts for more than half of all porcelain tableware produced in Japan.
