Kyoto Black Matcha Tea Bowl
Across this dark ground, fine silver textures appear almost like moonlit traces — a quiet shimmer embedded within the glaze. In certain light the silver catches softly, creating a restrained luminosity that shifts as the bowl is turned in the hands. The effect is neither decorative nor ostentatious, but contemplative: a subtle dialogue between darkness and light.
The interior remains dark and calm, allowing the vivid green of matcha to stand out clearly. When tea is whisked, the surface of the drink becomes the brightest element, framed by the bowl’s shadowed glaze and faint metallic glints.
Dimensions:
Bowl: 11cm w x 8cm H
Box: 15cm x 15cm x 12cm H
Made in Japan and comes with its own traditional signed wooden box.
