Matcha Bowl – Dragonfly Design | KOTOPOTTER

Elegant Hand-painted Kyoto Matcha Bowl

This matcha bowl from Kyoto, Japan is a fine example of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware pottery, admired for its delicate, hand-painted motifs and graceful form.

The softly curved form, shaped on the potter’s wheel, highlights the brilliance of the Iroe (colored overglaze) technique handed down by Jyosui Kato, a true master of Kyoto’s ceramic art.
