White Crystalline Mino-yaki Matcha Bowl

Crafted in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, this contemporary Mino ware matcha bowl celebrates the artistry of clay, glaze and fire. Made by artisans known for their meticulous hand-finishing techniques, each bowl is designed to highlight the natural warmth of the ceramic and the unique character that emerges through the firing process.

The bowl is finished with a striking white crystalline glaze, a modern ceramic technique in which delicate crystal formations develop naturally during firing. The resulting surface evokes a snow-covered landscape, with subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind. Its luminous white tones create a beautiful contrast against the rich green color of freshly whisked matcha, enhancing both the visual and sensory experience of tea preparation.

The simple semi-cylindrical shape features a straight, upright rim that makes whisking easy and comfortable, even for beginners. Elegant yet practical, this bowl embodies the refined craftsmanship and contemporary aesthetic that have made Mino ware a beloved part of Japanese tea culture today.
