Owner’s Comment

A handmade matcha bowl with the rustic warmth of earthenware and a boldly carved surface that preserves the texture of the clay.
The bowl is vividly painted with red and white plum blossoms.

Plum blossoms are a traditional seasonal motif in Japan, known as one of the first flowers to bloom in late winter and signal the arrival of spring.
The powerful clay texture and the bright floral painting come together in a bowl that leaves a memorable impression during seasonal tea moments.
