Frosted Charcoal Matcha Bowl

This is a Mino ware tableware.

A Mino ware matcha bowl with a frosted charcoal glaze, evoking the quiet elegance of early morning frost.

The layered tones of gray ripple across the surface like mist on stone, giving each piece a natural, one-of-a-kind character.

Its sturdy form and comfortable grip make it ideal for matcha, sweets, or even as a small serving bowl.

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.
