Good wei Matcha bowl "Akai" – handmade Japanese ceramic bowl, 430 ml

Product detailed description

Its substantial build and stable weight provide a secure grip while whisking matcha and underline the dignity of the tea ceremony.

Design and surface

The glaze in deep, vibrant red with dark brown tones flows smoothly into a lighter crimson red shade. The reactive glaze creates a natural, lively colour gradient with a subtly textured surface. The alternation of glossy and matte zones gives the bowl exceptional depth and visual movement. The overall look evokes flowing lava – a symbol of energy, warmth and precise Japanese craftsmanship.

Function and use

• Ideal for traditional matcha whisking and serving as part of the tea ceremony.
• Thanks to its Hantsutsu-gata shape, it is comfortable to hold and makes circular whisking with the whisk easier.
• Its striking appearance also stands out as a design accent in any interior.

Quality and care

The bowl is ceramic, with an emphasis on durability and a pleasant tactile feel. The reactive glaze makes every piece one of a kind – small variations in shade and texture are a natural sign of authentic craftsmanship. We recommend gentle hand washing and careful handling to preserve the surface's unique character.
