Measuring 12 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height, this bowl is perfectly balanced for preparing and serving matcha, as well as for enjoying tea, soup, or small dishes. Each piece is individually handcrafted, resulting in natural variations in glaze pattern and color that reflect the wabi-sabi philosophy—beauty found in imperfection.
