Glass Matcha Bowl – Willow and Kingfisher 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 combined with delicate handmade decoration creates a light and refreshing presence.

The cool texture of the material and the warmth of traditional handwork come together to gently enhance tea moments during the warmer season.

Hand-Painted, One of a Kind

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

Every bowl features a different pattern, making each piece truly one of a kind—an expression of handmade Japanese craftsmanship.

Versatile Summer Tableware

Ideal as a matcha bowl, this piece also works beautifully for serving shaved ice, fresh fruit, or chilled desserts.

Not limited to tea ceremony use, it adds a refreshing accent to summer dining and functions as versatile tableware for everyday use.

Owner’s Comment

The cool, airy appearance brings a refreshing sense of calm to summer tea moments. The hand-painted design applied on the reverse side subtly appears through the glass, a unique charm made possible by 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.
