This Black Raku tea bowl is handcrafted using traditional Japanese Raku techniques, where the piece is fired at low temperature and removed from the kiln while still hot. This process creates natural variations in the glaze and surface, making each bowl truly one of a kind.
Hand-shaped rather than wheel-thrown, the bowl has an organic form that sits comfortably in the hands. The deep black glaze offers a calm, understated presence and beautifully enhances the colour of matcha during tea preparation.
Favoured in Japanese tea culture, Black Raku embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi—simplicity, imperfection, and quiet beauty. It warms gently when held and provides a grounded, intimate tea experience, making it suitable for both daily use and appreciation.

* The surface is shaped by hand through traditional techniques; irregularities in the finish are a natural result of this process.
* As each piece is handmade, subtle variations in color may occur. Actual colors may also differ slightly due to screen resolution and display settings.
* The coloration is a natural result of the firing process of the glazing material and the clay in the kiln.
