The Raku Chawan Tea Bowl is a handmade matcha cup crafted in the traditional Raku-yaki ceramic style, designed to enhance your tea ceremony experience with authentic Japanese tea culture. This rustic ceramic cup features a warm amber glaze bowl, known as ame-gusuri, which retains heat effectively, ensuring your matcha stays warm while providing a gentle feel against the lips. Measuring approximately 3 inches in height and 4.7 inches in width (7.5 cm × 12 cm) and weighing 9.9 ounces (282 grams), this tea bowl offers an ideal size and weight for comfortable handling during Zen tea gatherings or wabi cha ceremonies. It comes with a kanji signature box, making it an excellent tea ceremony gift for enthusiasts and collectors alike.


This traditional tea bowl is part of the Ohi Raku Ware lineage, a style with over 350 years of history originating from Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture. The bowl’s distinctive amber glaze displays beautiful variations called keshiki, creating a unique landscape effect on each piece. Shaped entirely by hand without using a potter's wheel, the craftsmanship reflects centuries of dedication to the art of Japanese tea bowls. Recognized among the Senke Jisshoku—the ten families who perfected the tea ceremony’s aesthetic—this bowl embodies the spirit of Sadō (the Way of Tea) and cha-no-yu (tea gathering).


Tested for durability and authenticity, this Raku Chawan Tea Bowl comes with its own dedicated tomobako wooden storage box signed in kanji by the artisan. While it is in very good condition, minor scratches and signs of aging add character without compromising its function or beauty.
