This is a beautiful matcha tea bowl with a deep amber glaze. The rim is carefully adorned with a metal ring (kinkou), giving it a composed yet refined impression. This gold ring not only reinforces the rim but also harmoniously serves as a decorative element, tightening the overall form of the vessel. The glossy glaze on the inside contrasts with the rustic clay texture on the outside, making it a piece that gains character with use. In the old days, there were no cafes, so matcha was served to guests. It is recommended not only as a matcha bowl but also as a bowl for Japanese sweets or as a flower vase. ※ Our predecessor cherished this bowl and often served matcha on special occasions. ※ No box or markings. ※ Please consider this item with an understanding of its age.
