Glass Matcha Bowl – Freshwater Crab by Kaihou

Cool and Refreshing Glass Matcha Bowl

A summer matcha bowl crafted from clear glass, each piece individually hand-painted. The transparency of the glass highlights the artwork, creating a light and refreshing presence.

The cool texture of the glass and the warmth of handmade decoration come together to gently enhance tea moments during the hotter months.

Hand-Painted, One of a Kind

Each motif is painted directly onto the glass, resulting in subtle variations in brushwork and color.

Finished with unique designs throughout, every bowl can be enjoyed as a truly one-of-a-kind piece of Japanese handmade pottery.

Versatile Summer Tableware

Ideal as a matcha bowl, it is also well suited for serving shaved ice, fresh fruit, or chilled desserts.

Beyond tea ceremony use, this versatile bowl brings a refreshing accent to summer dining and everyday table settings.

Owner’s Comment

Its cool, airy presence brings a pleasant sense of freshness to summer tea moments. The hand-painted design applied on the reverse side subtly shows through the glass, a charm unique to this material. Easy to use not only as a matcha bowl but also as a serving bowl, it is a versatile piece that also makes a thoughtful gift.
